Jimmy Horn Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Limited role during rookie campaign Horn caught 11 of 15 targets for 108 yards and rushed eight times for 69 yards across 14 regular-season games in 2025.

Impact Horn didn't play an offensive snap until the Week 5 win over the Dolphins and wasn't a major portion of Carolina's offensive game plan during his rookie season. The Colorado product finished the year as the Panthers' 10th-leading receiver and fifth-leading rusher. However, after flashing his blazing speed on a few occasions this season, Horn will likely be more involved in Carolina's offense following the team's 2025 playoff run.

Two catches in Week 17 Horn caught both of his targets for nine yards during Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact The 23-year-old recorded the second-most receiving yards on the Panthers during the Week 17 loss, trailing just Jalen Coker (2-16-0). Horn has now received at least one offensive touch in each of Carolina's last three games, suggesting his role is growing as the season progresses. Across 13 appearances, he's caught 10 of 14 targets for 93 yards while rushing eight times for 69 yards. Expect Carolina to continue utilizing Horn's speed in the Week 18 matchup against the Buccaneers on Saturday.

Muted role in Week 15 Horn recorded a seven-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

Impact Horn took the field for just four of Carolina's 57 plays on offense, marking the fourth straight game he played single-digit snaps. He had played double-digit snaps in all but one of Carolina's six games between Weeks 5 and 10, but Brycen Tremayne appears to have since leapfrogged him on the depth chart as the Panthers' preferred No. 4 wideout behind Tetairoa McMillan (foot/ankle), Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker.

No touches in Week 10 Horn was not targeted and didn't log a carry Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.

Impact The Panthers attempted an end-around to Horn late in the third quarter, but a miscommunication between him and Bryce Young led to a fumble that was credited to the quarterback. Horn, a 2025 sixth-round pick from Colorado, had received at least two touches in every game since the Week 5 win over Miami. He's appeared in seven games, catching six of 10 targets for 66 yards and rushing seven times for 44 yards. Horn will likely remain a depth option in Carolina's offense in the Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

Impact The 23-year-old played just 13 offensive snaps and operated as Carolina's No. 4 wideout in the Week 9 win. Through his first five NFL games, Horn has caught six of 10 targets for 66 yards and rushed seven times for 44 yards. He's likely to continue playing a depth role in the Panthers' receiving corps ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.

Practices in full Horn (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Horn was forced out of Carolina's blowout loss to the Bills in Week 8 due to a shoulder injury after playing just eight offensive snaps, but he appears fully on track to suit up for the team's road matchup against Green Bay on Sunday. The rookie sixth-round pick has compiled five catches for 65 yards (one eight targets) across five regular-season appearances so far.

Leaves game with shoulder injury Horn is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bills due to a shoulder injury, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Horn sustained the injury during the second quarter, and he will have his shoulder evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. With Hunter Renfrow (coach's decision), inactive, Brycen Tremayne is in line to see an expanded role on offense for as long as Horn is out of the game.

The 2025 sixth-round pick from Colorado has now recorded five catches for 65 yards and four carries for 28 yards over his first three games as a pro. While Horn could be more involved in Carolina's offense as the season progresses, he's likely to play another reserve role in the Week 8 matchup against the Bills.

Impresses again in Week 6 Horn caught both of his targets for 36 yards and rushed once for 11 yards during Sunday's 30-27 win over the Cowboys.

Impact The 2025 sixth-round pick from Colorado has been increasingly involved in Carolina's offense over the past two weeks, catching four of his five targets for 57 yards and rushing three times for 21 yards. Horn led all Panthers wideouts in receiving yards during Sunday's win, suggesting he's already carved out a meaningful role in this offense. Although Jalen Coker (quadriceps) is likely returning from injury soon, Horn is expected to be a key part of the Carolina's offensive game plan in the Week 7 matchup against the Jets.

Solid performance in NFL debut Horn caught two of three targets for 21 yards and rushed twice for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Dolphins.

Impact After being a healthy scratch in each of the Panthers' first four games this year, Horn played an important role in Sunday's win. The rookie from Colorado showcased his explosiveness and made a key 17-yard catch on fourth down to help set up Carolina's go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter. Although Jalen Coker (quadriceps) will likely return from injury soon, Horn's role on the Panthers' offense could continue to grow heading into the Week 6 matchup against the Cowboys.
