CHARLOTTE — There's always something more you can do.

So for Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn , that meant doing anything extra he could while he wasn't practicing.

The stitches around his left thumb are still in, so he's still not taking part in a full practice, but he's doing what he can. That meant working on one-handed catches during drills, which is partially just to protect himself, but partially so he can stay engaged.

"I just wanted to like stay in the groove," Horn said Tuesday. "Seeing the ball, the quarterback's hands, and breaking on the ball.

"It was more so for that reason, but I mean it's fun to try to make the one-handed catch."

It sounds benign when he says it like that, but it's consistent with his pattern this offseason, as he comes off his first Pro Bowl season.
