Backstory
Horn, the No. 8 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, battled injuries throughout his career.
He made it only three games into his rookie season before breaking several bones in his foot while backpedaling on Houston’s artificial turf in a Thursday night game.
His 2022 season ended with a broken wrist in Week 16 after teammate Jeremy Chinn collided with him. He also injured his ankle in June while working out on his own and missed the rest of the OTAs and minicamp.
