Panthers Manage Injuries and Health Concerns in Practice

The Carolina Panthers dealt with multiple health issues during Thursday’s practice.

Wide receiver Jalen Coker missed practice due to an illness, head coach Dave Canales confirmed. Linebacker Nic Scourton left practice temporarily to get rehydrated after overheating, showing the impact of early-season heat on player conditioning.

Cornerback Jaycee Horn (hand) is ruled out for Saturday’s preseason game against the Houston Texans, according to Canales. Horn’s absence limits depth in the secondary but gives other players a chance to step up.

The Panthers are balancing player health while preparing for the upcoming preseason matchup.
