Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn was involved in a car accident and missed practice Wednesday in Charlotte, N.C.

Panthers coach Dave Canales told reporters that Horn needed stitches in the "left thumb area" on his left hand, but did not sustain major injuries. He also ruled out Horn for the Panthers' preseason opener Friday against the Cleveland Browns.

Horn eventually arrived at practice, a joint session with the Browns, but did not participate. Canales said Horn is day-to-day.

"I'm glad that Jaycee was OK," Canales said. "He did have to have a few stitches in his left thumb area. So they got that all cleaned up and sutured up. He is day-to-day right now. We are just gonna kinda evaluate. It doesn't seem like anything else happened.
