Head coach Dave Canales said that Horn required stitches in his left thumb. In addition to missing practice on Wednesday, the cornerback won't play in Friday's preseason opener. This update from Canales comes as no surprise. With the season over a month away, there's no reason to overwork Horn when he's dealing with any minor effects of the accident. Canales did note that Horn could participate in drills, but the team will wait and see. Horn, a first-round pick and four-year NFL veteran, made his first Pro Bowl last season. He started 15 games with 68 tackles, 13 passes defended, one interception, and two sacks.

I’m straight ! Nun major thank god🙏🏾🙏🏾
