Carolina Panthers star Jaycee Horn was involved in a car accident outside the team’s stadium on Wednesday morning, according to the team.

A statement from the Panthers confirmed the first-round NFL draft pick – who recently signed a four-year, $100million deal – would miss practice after the incident.

Horn – who was alone in his vehicle – was evaluated by Panthers medical staff and it was decided that the cornerback would sit out of the joint practice with the Browns. 

No timeline has been given for when he might return. The Panthers have their preseason opener on Friday, which may come to soon for Horn.

According to a team spokesman, no one involved in the incident was transported by emergency medical personnel.

Back in March, Horn put pen-to-paper on a lucrative $100million deal which made him the highest-paid NFL defensive back, at the time.
