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.

Horn (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Panthers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per the ESPN broadcast, Horn was being evaluated by medical staff following his second interception of the game in the second quarter. He remained in the locker room after halftime and will not return after being diagnosed with a concussion, so Corey Thornton has taken over as the Panthers' second outside cornerback opposite Mike Jackson.

Horn tallied three total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Horn played a season-low 87 percent of Carolina's defensive snaps in Week 8, but that's likely due to the second-half blowout. The South Carolina product has tallied 13 total tackles and three interceptions (tied for third-most in the NFL) across the Panthers' first eight games this season. He's expected to have his hands full in the Week 9 matchup against the Packers, as Jordan Love just threw for 360 yards and three touchdowns against the Steelers in a Week 8 win.
