After staying out of the pool for 11 weeks, Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn finally dipped his toe in the water on Sunday. And now, from here on out, he may be ready to jump right in. Horn, who had not played since the regular-season opener due to a hamstring injury, made his return to the playing field in Week 13. The third-year defender, however, came back to a pitch count—as the team cut him off after 32 snaps on the afternoon. On Monday, interim head coach Chris Tabor was asked if he expects Horn to see more action moving forward. “100 percent. That’ll naturally happen,” Tabor responded. “That was his first game back. You wanna work him right back in there and get him up to speed. I think that he’s recovered nicely. So, I do see that happening.” Horn’s 32 snaps accounted for just over half of the defense’s presence in the 21-18 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was targeted six times in the outing, where he allowed four receptions for a total of 65 yards. Tabor was then asked if he sees Horn playing closer to 100 percent of the snaps in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. “What are we lookin’ at here, guys? Monday, 12:30?” Tabor jokingly replied as he looked to his wristwatch. “I anticipate him playin’ quite a bit. I really do.” So yeah, it’s almost time for a full serving.
