Seahawks will be playing a Panthers team that won’t have one of its best players

Carolina’s defense will be weakened ahead of next week’s trip to Seattle.

. One of Carolina’s best defensive players will likely not be taking part in that matchup.

Third-year cornerback Jaycee Horn, son of former NFL star receiver Joe Horn, is expected to miss several weeks with a hamstring injury suffered in the season-opening loss to thePanthers’ HC Frank Reich said CB Jaycee Horn’s hamstring injury is serious enough that he is expected to miss extended time, might need surgery and could land on injured reserve.

When healthy, Horn has been a very good if not great cornerback. He intercepted Geno Smith on the first Seahawks offensive snap, which led to a touchdown. Horn nearly had another interception later in the day but was ruled out of bounds after juggling the ball.in the NFL last season based off passer rating allowed, higher than Sauce Gardner, Riq Woolen, and Jaire Alexander.

With Horn out, former Los Angeles Rams CB Troy Hill is expected to slot in, so I guess we can’t get away from the Rams even when the Seahawks aren’t playing them.
