The Panthers are continuing to explore options for cornerback depth amid multiple injuries at the position this season. Carolina hosted Jack Jones for a visit this week, per KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson, though the veteran cornerback remained unsigned heading into the weekend.
Carolina’s secondary has been depleted for weeks. Jaycee Horn (quad) and Mike Jackson (groin) were placed on injured reserve at the end of September. They have since been joined by Akayleb Evans (knee), and rookie Will Lee (hamstring) was ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Broncos. The Panthers were forced to start Chau Smith-Wade and Marco Jackson in Week 9, hardly a tenable long-term duo for a team with playoff ambitions.
