CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Panthers starting cornerback Donte Jackson will miss the remainder of the season after tearing his left Achilles tendon in Carolina’s 25-15 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night, the team announced.
Jackson had started nine games this season with 30 tackles and two interceptions, including one he returned for a touchdown. Jackson has started 60 games during his five-year career with the Panthers and has 14 interceptions.
The Panthers are expected to start Jaycee Horn and CJ Henderson at cornerback moving forward. Both are former top-10 draft picks.
The Panthers (3-7) visit the Baltimore Ravens (6-3) on Nov. 20.
