Mike Jackson

Canales said fellow corner Jaycee Horn faces a similar timeline. He suffered a torn quad in Week 3 but did not need surgery. Both players were placed on injured reserve earlier today. The Panthers will now be without their top two corners for most of the regular season.

Jackson was injured on a first quarter play where he was called for pass interference. He’s an every-snap player for the Panthers’ defense, so this will require dipping into the team’s depth.

Jackson was acquired just before the start of the 2024 regular season in a trade with the Seahawks and now remains with the Panthers on a new two-year deal. He played all but 13 defensive snaps for the Panthers a season ago and should remain the team’s other perimeter option next to Jaycee Horn.
