Horn (head) recorded 37 total tackles (26 solo) and eight passes defensed, including five interceptions, across 16 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Horn was off to an impressive start in his playoff debut before exiting Saturday's wild-card loss to the Rams with a head injury, finishing with two total tackles and one pass defensed. The former first-round pick from South Carolina proved to be one of the NFL's premier outside cornerbacks in 2025, allowing just a 72.3 passer rating when targeted while tying for the second-most interceptions in the league. Having signed a four-year, $100 million extension last offseason, Horn is expected to remain one of the Panthers' top outside cornerbacks heading into the 2026 season.

Horn is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Rams, Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Horn had played most of the game but missed a pivotal possession late in the fourth quarter, during which the Rams took the lead. He recorded four tackles (two solo) and one pass defensed prior to his exit.

Horn (concussion) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Horn has fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will draw his usual start at outside corner during Sunday's divisional matchup. This will be Horn's first time back in the starting lineup since Week 12. As a result, Akayleb Evans and Robert Rochell will revert to depth roles on defense.

Horn (concussion) practiced in full Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Horn is still officially in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but head coach Dave Canales has stated that he's on track to return in time for Sunday's game against the Saints. He'll need to be fully cleared by an independent neurologist before returning to the field.

Horn (concussion) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Horn will need to upgrade to full participation by Friday and gain clearance from an independent neurologist to exit the NFL's five step concussion protocol. Only then would he be eligible to play Sunday against the Saints. Horn last suited up in Week 12 against the 49ers.

Horn (concussion) was spotted at Monday's practice session, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Horn entered the league's concussion protocol during the Panthers' Week 13 win over the Rams. The fifth-year corner had extra time to progress through the league's protocol thanks to the Panthers' Week 14 bye, and his practice participation over the coming week will shed light on his chances of playing Sunday against the Saints.

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Monday that he expects Horn (concussion) will be available to practice and play following the team's Week 14 bye, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was sidelined for the Panthers' Week 13 win over the Rams after sustaining a concussion the game prior, but it now appears he'll likely be available following the Week 14 bye. Horn has been one of the best corners in the NFL this season, recording 25 total tackles and six passes defensed, including five interceptions (tied for second-most in the league), across 12 contests. If available for the Week 15 matchup against the Saints, Horn will likely start opposite Mike Jackson to form Carolina's top outside cornerback duo.

Horn (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Horn suffered the concussion in last Monday night's loss to the 49ers, and he'll now miss the Week 13 date with Los Angeles, significantly upgrading the matchup for both Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. With Horn sidelined, Akayleb Evans and Robert Rochell are likely to play elevated snaps at cornerback.

Horn (concussion) did not practice in Thursday's walkthrough, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Horn has now missed another consecutive practice with the concussion he sustained in the Monday Night Football loss to the 49ers. If the cornerback wants any chance to play in Week 13 he will need to log at least a limited session Friday.

Horn (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Horn suffered a concussion in the team's 20-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday Night Football, so his absence Wednesday doesn't come as a surprise. The cornerback is fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 13, and he'll have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Rams.
