## Resource

Jimmy Horn Jr.’s Panthers tenure is over after just one game — his fumble on a punt in Week 1 handed the Bears momentum and sealed his fate. With Trevor Etienne sidelined until Week 5, the team turned to John Metchie III, a former second-round pick struggling as a receiver, to fill the return specialist void. Metchie showed flashes in preseason, averaging over 27 yards per return — but time is running out. If he doesn’t deliver, he could be next off the roster when Etienne returns. This is his chance to prove his worth — or risk being cut before the season heats up. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
