What happened: Carolina moved cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson to injured reserve. The designation carries a minimum four-game absence.

Why it matters: Carolina loses its starting perimeter duo in one move, forcing reserve corners into extended roles. Horn entered the season ranked No. 76 on the NFL Top 100.

By the numbers: Horn: 37 tackles, 5 interceptions in 16 games in 2025. Jackson: 68 tackles, 4 interceptions in 17 games in 2025.

What to watch: Carolina must reset its cornerback rotation before its next game. Elevation and depth-chart moves will show the replacement plan.
