Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn won’t be finishing his first Pro Bowl campaign on the field.
Horn, who was ruled out of this afternoon’s regular-season finale against the Atlanta Falcons on Friday due to a hip injury, is one of seven inactive players for the Panthers here in Week 18. The fourth-year defender also missed last week’s 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Panthers will also be without starting inside linebacker Josey Jewell (concussion) for a second straight outing.
In somewhat of a surprise, the offense won’t have starting right guard Robert Hunt in the lineup for the first time this season. Hunt, who has played every offensive snap (967) for Carolina, was listed as questionable with a knee injury entering the weekend.
Second-year lineman Chandler Zavala will get the start in Hunt’s place.
Here’s the full list of inactives for the Panthers today:
- CB Jaycee Horn
- G Robert Hunt
- ILB Josey Jewell
- S Lonnie Johnson Jr.
- RB Velus Jones Jr.
- QB Jack Plummer (emergency QB)
- WR Deven Thompkins
And for the host Falcons:
- ILB JD Bertrand
- DL Brandon Dorlus
- CB Kevin King
- WR Darnell Mooney
- OT Brandon Parker
- OL Elijah Wilkinson
