Overview
- Rookie Haynes King injured his hamstring on the game‑winning play in the Hall of Fame Game and is listed week‑to‑week as the Panthers monitor his rehab.
- Carolina signed former 2021 second‑round pick Kyle Trask on Sunday to serve as the third quarterback behind Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett.
- The team concurrently waived/injured wide receiver Malick Meiga and linebacker Nick Hampton to open a roster spot for Trask.
- Trask brings familiarity with Panthers coaches from his time in Tampa Bay but has limited regular‑season experience, appearing in seven games and attempting 11 passes in his NFL career.
- Coaches plan to press on with preseason work and Trask is expected to receive reps, including possible playing time in the upcoming game at Buffalo, while King is reevaluated weekly.
