Crucial help on both offense and defense may be in store for Carolina after their mini-bye.
The Carolina Panthers are finally getting healthier faster than they are getting hurt. Cornerback Jaycee Horn (hamstring) and tight end Ian Thomas (calf) have been designated to return from injured reserve this week.
Horn has been absent since the season opener, while Thomas was injured in practice in Week 6 before the Miami Dolphins game.
The return of Jaycee Horn is fantastic news as the defense, in particular, has suffered a series of losses across the season with only a few players actually returning to the field.
