What happened: Horn uses press alignment to stack and pin the receiver before locating the ball. The approach preserves leverage through the route and positions him to contest the pass.
Why it matters: Carolina placed Horn on reserve/NFI on July 21 after a cut on his foot required stitches. His absence temporarily removes a starting cornerback from team drills as the Panthers prepare for 2026.
By the numbers: Horn ranked No. 76 on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026.
What to watch: Watch for Horn’s activation from reserve/NFI and his initial practice workload.
