Report: Panthers signing CB Sam Webb from Raiders practice squad

Following the injury sustained by starting cornerback Jaycee Horn that will sideline him for multiple weeks, the Carolina Panthers have added a new addition to their secondary, signing cornerback Sam Webb on Wednesday according to MLFootball.

Carolina picked up Webb off of the Las Vegas Raiders practice squad as he enters his second season in the NFL out of Division II college Missouri Western. The Raiders signed Webb in 2022 as an undrafted free agent and he impressed, making the team’s 53-man roster following training camp.

Webb appeared in all 17 games for Las Vegas last season including three starts, logging 36 tackles, defending three passes, and forcing a fumble in his rookie season.

He also appeared in all three preseason games for the Raiders this year where he had four tackles, defended a pass, and secured an interception in the team’s first preseason matchup versus the San Francisco 49ers that he returned for 43 yards.

His performance in camp and the preseason wasn’t enough to make the Raiders’ 53-man roster this season, as he was waived by Las Vegas and re-signed to the practice squad on August 29. But now he’ll get an opportunity to suit it up and make an impact for Carolina, as they take on the New Orleans Saints Monday night at 7:15 pm ET.

Report: Jaycee Horn to miss ‘multiple weeks’ with hamstring injury

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn will miss multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Tuesday. He suffered the injury on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.

Horn went down with the injury in the second quarter of the game — a 24-10 Atlanta victory. He didn’t return, and Panthers coach Frank Reich confirmed it was a hamstring injury during the postgame press conference.

Horn is in his third season in the NFL after Carolina drafted him No. 8 out of South Carolina. He has appeared in just 17 games, though, as he dealt with multiple injuries during his first two years in the league. This 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, but now it’s looking like the Panthers will be without him for some time.
