## Resource

Carolina’s shocking move to waive speedy rookie returner Jimmy Horn Jr. for veteran linebacker Tyrel Dodson raises serious questions — was it a knee-jerk reaction to their crushing loss to Chicago, or a sign they’re panicking? Horn, still raw in the return game but possessing rare game-breaking speed, got benched after muffing a punt — a mistake that shouldn’t erase his potential. While the defense desperately needs help, trading a developing asset for an experienced linebacker feels premature. The Panthers’ bigger issues were systemic — not just Horn’s error. Is this desperation move setting back a player with untapped potential, or is Carolina finally acting decisively?
