The team announced on Monday that Horn is now active

after being diagnosed with a torn ligament.

The 2021 first-round pick is on the PUP list with soreness stemming from his surgically repaired foot.

[{"selector":"#anim-34b9ef52-fd89-4f60-aaae-4ad5d5a23dd3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.095012900986%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ac337110-0d2b-4e17-ab35-1de95d5911a5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e17434a6-b8b0-49c4-ad32-5af81c14ca92","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.62694%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Horn suffered an injury in the third quarter of his rookie season,

[{"selector":"#anim-5e53537c-e4f0-4a6d-9448-4f19ba225ad4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.095012900986%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7676b4b2-698f-47d8-8798-ad7cffe2efd2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6050989d-6d02-4e32-9380-62fd7e260901","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.10881%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

which in turn, wiped out the rest of the games.

[{"selector":"#anim-16271da8-4247-4dc0-a7fc-f111ac21bb01 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -4.215709336537921%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0a85eb74-4d2b-4dcb-a7f6-01a84e89a739","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8dcb428d-71cf-4adc-b181-bf1268e83812","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.62694%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Horn was making progress until he was placed on the training camp PUP list.

[{"selector":"#anim-31f1c4e8-3a2e-466a-9bbb-4a887ce8223e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.095012900986%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9d21bcdf-7f20-4b0c-ad6b-cbf276630dae","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f42078b1-c97c-4670-9661-5fcc0feae091","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.62694%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The club plans to bring Horn back gradually,

[{"selector":"#anim-cfca1283-7858-419d-9b1e-ae44dd1adfed [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.095012900986%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5257a64f-0405-4ba6-b00e-6091eeab781f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ab6faa5f-7774-48db-8741-9efe01820702","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.62694%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

to prevent another injury from happening again.

[{"selector":"#anim-eaab2569-6582-4b19-922e-8cd669c5ff7a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.095012900986%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fef02f16-58d3-46ab-965f-24eb277c90b4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ac9fca5a-e91c-491f-b7e6-5ea87fd75669","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.62694%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Panthers coach, Matt Rhule, stated that Horn is considered "day-to-day."

[{"selector":"#anim-b296af19-3295-4263-bb90-1f549615fa74 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -8.095012900986%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ae1a8169-32b9-49fe-af87-dd4e70111296","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e6c09ebc-14a4-4781-935d-196bb2fd85d9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.62694%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The hope is that he can quickly return to his form

[{"selector":"#anim-798d7293-2dbf-4be3-8938-4c8f026c8b1a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -13.159538654786406%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b8249a63-5bc8-4a38-8206-4c9ad8f54952","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-211de9d4-e569-47c3-9319-403a2a9bd6b7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.62694%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

and play a major role in the talented Panthers defense.
