Horn (concussion) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints. Horn has fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will draw his usual start at outside corner during Sunday's divisional matchup. This will be Horn's first time back in the starting lineup since Week 12. As a result, Akayleb Evans and Robert Rochell will revert to depth roles on defense.

Horn (concussion) practiced in full Thursday. Horn is still officially in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but head coach Dave Canales has stated that he's on track to return in time for Sunday's game against the Saints. He'll need to be fully cleared by an independent neurologist before returning to the field.

Horn (concussion) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice. Horn will need to upgrade to full participation by Friday and gain clearance from an independent neurologist to exit the NFL's five step concussion protocol. Only then would he be eligible to play Sunday against the Saints. Horn last suited up in Week 12 against the 49ers.

Horn (concussion) was spotted at Monday's practice session, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Horn entered the league's concussion protocol during the Panthers' Week 13 win over the Rams. The fifth-year corner had extra time to progress through the league's protocol thanks to the Panthers' Week 14 bye, and his practice participation over the coming week will shed light on his chances of playing Sunday against the Saints.

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Monday that he expects Horn (concussion) will be available to practice and play following the team's Week 14 bye, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. The 26-year-old was sidelined for the Panthers' Week 13 win over the Rams after sustaining a concussion the game prior, but it now appears he'll likely be available following the Week 14 bye. Horn has been one of the best corners in the NFL this season, recording 25 total tackles and six passes defensed, including five interceptions (tied for second most in the league), across 12 contests. If available for the Week 15 matchup against the Saints, Horn will likely start opposite Mike Jackson to form Carolina's top outside cornerback duo.
