The latest information available seems to indicate that JayCee Horn will have surgery on Tuesday on his right arm. Exactly "where" the break is located will probably determine what happens after that. According to Wilks, JayCee will be evaluated after surgery to determine if it is possible to return to play this year. Everything depends on the evaluation of the "Ortho" doctors and the Panthers training staff. As we are all aware, it IS possible to play through this type of injury. The Panthers have precedent for this just a few years back when Thomas Davis broke his arm and returned to play quickly with a reinforcing splint and wrap on the broken arm. So, it could happen.....
However, a CB uses his hands a LOT. It seems as if it would be very difficult for a DB to play effectively while wearing a "club" of some sort over his lower arm and hand. AGAIN..... Wilks said that the determination would be made after surgery by the Ortho doctors and the training staff, but that Horn's return might be possible. We will know more on Wednesday.
