The Panthers have elected to pick up Horn's fifth-year contract option, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Horn, who the Panthers took eighth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, is thus slated to remain under contract with the team through the 2025 campaign. Injuries have hampered the starting cornerback over his first three years as a pro, but when available, the 24-year old has made his mark in Carolina's secondary by racking up 85 tackles and four picks over the course of 22 regular-season outings.

Jaycee Horn Latest News
Fifth-year option to be picked up
![Team logo](https://cdn.statically.io/img/heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/carolina-panthers-logo.png?w=150)
The Panthers have elected to pick up Horn's fifth-year contract option, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Horn, who the Panthers took eighth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, is thus slated to remain under contract with the team through the 2025 campaign. Injuries have hampered the starting cornerback over his first three years as a pro, but when available, the 24-year old has made his mark in Carolina's secondary by racking up 85 tackles and four picks over the course of 22 regular-season outings.
Questionable for Sunday at Tampa
![Team logo](https://cdn.statically.io/img/heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/carolina-panthers-logo.png?w=150)
Horn was limited at all three of the Panthers' practices this week, so there's no solid indication of his availability in one direction or the other at this point. If he can't return in Week 13, Donte Jackson and CJ Henderson should again operate as Carolina's top cover corners Sunday.
Doubtful for Week 12, still on IR
![Team logo](https://cdn.statically.io/img/heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/carolina-panthers-logo.png?w=150)
Horn will first need to be officially activated from injured reserve to suit up Sunday, and that's unlikely to happen based on his doubtful designation. Horn's 21-day window to return to the active roster was opened prior to the Week 11 loss to Dallas, so he will likely be re-added to the 53-man roster prior to Carolina's Week 13 game against the Buccaneers if he sits out Sunday in Tennessee as expected. Per David Newton of ESPN.com, coach Frank Reich said Friday he believes Horn will play again this season.
Won't suit up vs. Cowboys
![Team logo](https://cdn.statically.io/img/heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/carolina-panthers-logo.png?w=150)
Horn was designated for return from Carolina's injured reserve list Monday, but he'll have to wait at least one more week before he can actually return to action. Donte Jackson will once again start as the Panthers' top corner in Week 11.
Gets designation to return
![Team logo](https://cdn.statically.io/img/heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/carolina-panthers-logo.png?w=150)
The transaction opens a 21-day window during which the Panthers can officially activate Horn before they'd be forced to shut him down for the remainder of the season. Carolina's injury reports this week will provide an indication of whether he could suit up in Week 11 versus the Cowboys.
