Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn will not practice Wednesday after the team said he was involved in a car accident earlier in the morning.
He was on his way to training camp when the accident occurred at the corner of Mint and Morehead streets, just a mile from the team’s training facility and in the shadows of their home field, Bank of America Stadium.
Horn watched from the field as the team took part in a joint practice with the Cleveland Browns.
The Panthers said Horn was traveling alone and that no one involved in the accident was transported by emergency medical personnel due to injury. Team medical staff evaluated Horn’s condition instead.
Horn, 25, is entering his fifth season with the Panthers, who selected him with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He played a career-high 15 games (all starts) last season and was named to the Pro Bowl. He had one interception, 13 passes defensed, two sacks and 68 tackles.
He signed a four-year, $100 million contract extension with the Panthers in March.
