"Jaycee is doing great," Canales stated. "The reports I get are that he's trending in the right direction—ahead of whatever general deadlines. He's crushing his rehab right now. He's itching to just keep taking the next step.
"Mike Jack, same thing. He's moving around, they're starting to pick up their speeds, the change-of-direction stuff. Those are all the things, with the nature of the injuries that have to feel really good before you're able to open up. Obviously, we gotta go through the four games. And then, after that, you start thinking about opening up windows."
Both Horn (quad) and Jackson (groin) went down during the team's Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns . Initial reports suggested that Horn would be in danger of missing the remainder of the campaign while Jackson was expected back some time in November.
Carolina, in their places, have started rookie Will Lee III and special teams ace Akayleb Evans.
