After a 59-37 loss to the Chicago Bears, the Carolina Panthers waived wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. on September 16, 2026. Horn, a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, primarily served as a returner and had a notable muffed punt in the game. To fill the roster spot, the Panthers signed linebacker Tyrel Dodson from their practice squad after he was pursued by another team. Dodson previously spent two weeks on the practice roster following his release by the Miami Dolphins.
