The Carolina Panthers are activating the 21-day practice window for two injured players this week. Cornerback <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jaycee-horn-142734/">Jaycee Horn</a> and tight end <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/ian-thomas-48856/">Ian Thomas</a> can now return to practice, the team <a href="https://www.panthers.com/news/jaycee-horn-ian-thomas-designated-to-return-from-ir" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced</a> on Monday. 



Horn suffered a hamstring injury in the Panthers’ season opener against the Atlanta Falcons. The cornerback is in his third season in the <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/category/nfl/news/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> after Carolina drafted him No. 8 out of <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/south-carolina-gamecocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">South Carolina</a>. He has appeared in just 17 games, though, as he dealt with multiple injuries during his first two years in the league. In the offseason, he dealt with an ankle and foot injury that kept him out of OTAs and minicamp, as well.



Last year was Horn’s best in the NFL as he totaled 53 tackles and three interceptions across 13 games. He had one tackle in the loss to the Falcons prior to his injury.



Ian Thomas, primarily a blocking tight end for Carolina, has two catches for 36 yards on the year. Now that the practice window is open, Horn and Thomas can return to the active roster at any time. However, if they’re not back on the active roster within 21 days, they’ll have to remain on Injured Reserve.



The Panthers have now officially used four of their eight possible activations from IR this season. Tight end <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/stephen-sullivan-108510/">Stephen Sullivan</a> and outside linebacker <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/marquis-haynes-84160/">Marquis Haynes Sr.</a> were the other two players previously designated to return.



Also Monday, they signed practice squad outside linebacker Eku Leota to the 53-man roster. To fill the available practice squad slot opened up by Leota, the Panthers signed veteran offensive tackle <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/david-sharpe-32080/">David Sharpe</a>. Sharpe previously played in two games for Carolina.

The Panthers play the Dallas Cowboys at home on Sunday. They’re now three weeks removed from their last win, a 15-13 win over the Houston Texans, and things are looking bleak.



Some Carolina Panthers fans are at their wits ends – and they want the team to know it. Leading into the Week 10 slate on Sunday, fans planned to march around Bank of America stadium to <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/news/carolina-panthers-plan-march-on-bank-of-america-stadium-amid-1-8-start/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">protest</a> the team’s 1-8 start to the 2023 season on Sunday.



The protest was sponsored by the Panthers Nation Podcast. However, the group learned of a conflicting event that led them to cancel. The march could be rescheduled, especially if the losing trend continues for the team.



“We’ve learned about a children’s event at Bank of America Stadium <a href="https://twitter.com/PantherNationPC/status/1723536067217772704" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on the same day</a>,” PantherNationPC followed up in a post on X. “After further consultation, we want ensure safety and avoid any liability issues. We will reschedule for another time.”
