What happened: Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson were placed on injured reserve. Will Lee now projects for starter-level work at CB2.

Why it matters: The absence of two veterans tests Carolina's depth at cornerback. The assignment gives the staff a live evaluation of how the rookie projects as a starter in this defense.

What to watch: His snap share and matchup assignments will show the plan at CB2. Continued starter reps would clarify the pecking order for the secondary.
