On Sunday, the Carolina Panthers gave Jimmy Horn Jr. an opportunity. He served as their return specialist in the Week 1 game. That game was against the Chicago Bears. The Panthers coordinators noted how productive he looked on returns. In their assessment, he looked sharp. Analysts think this could help launch his career going forward. The Panthers dropped the game finally. The final score was 24 to 21. Tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders was sidelined. He sat out entirely on the sidelines.
