  • Panthers' Haynes King: Emergency QB3 vs. Cleveland

    King (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the emergency third quarterback against the Browns on Sunday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    King will once again operate as the QB3 behind Kenny Pickett and starter Bryce Young. Since he's serving in an emergency role, King is prohibited from playing Sunday unless both Young and Pickett were removed from the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Panthers' Haynes King: Serving as emergency QB3 vs. Atlanta

    King (coach's decision) is inactive but serving as the Panthers' emergency third quarterback Sunday against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    For a second consecutive week, King will be the emergency QB3 while Kenny Pickett backs up Bryce Young. That means King is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Young and Pickett leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Panthers' Haynes King: Emergency QB3 vs. Chicago

    King (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Panthers' emergency third quarterback against the Bears on Sunday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    King beat out Kyle Trask for a spot on the Panthers' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp, and the former will be the emergency QB3 behind starter Bryce Young and backup Kenny Pickett for Week 1. That means King will not be allowed to play Sunday unless both Young and Pickett were removed from the contest due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Panthers' Haynes King: Not on Wednesday's injury report

    King (hamstring) was not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    King missed the Panthers' final three preseason games due to a hamstring injury he sustained during the Hall of Fame Game against the Cardinals on Aug. 6. King's absence from the injury report indicates that he'll be available for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Bears, though he figures to be the Panthers' emergency third quarterback behind Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett.

  • Panthers' Haynes King: Won't play preseason finale

    King (hamstring) will not play in Friday's preseason finale against the Texans, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

    King suffered a hamstring injury in the Panthers' win over the Cardinals in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 6. He played well in that contest, but given his lack of practice reps and the fact that he'll miss the last three preseason games, King's place on the 53-man roster by the end of training camp is far from guaranteed. Kenny Pickett is expected to be Bryce Young's backup this season, so if the Panthers choose to roster a third quarterback, then Kyle Trask would be King's competition for the QB3 role.

  • Panthers' Haynes King: Out for Buffalo

    King (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of next Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

    King sustained a hamstring injury during Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Cardinals and is considered week-to-week as he manages the issue. Due to the issue, the Panthers signed quarterback Kyle Trask on Sunday.

  • Panthers' Haynes King: Nursing hamstring injury

    King picked up a hamstring injury during Thursday's Hall of Fame Game against the Cardinals, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    King played well in Thursday's exhibition game, completing 21 of 34 passes for 180 yards and two touchdowns while turning three carries into 39 yards and a score in Carolina's 33-30 victory. However, it appears King tweaked his hamstring in the process, which could prompt the Panthers to bring in another quarterback like Kyle Trask and Jack Plummer for the rest of training camp, per Joe Person of The Athletic. King entered training camp listed as the Panthers' QB3 behind starter Bryce Young and backup Kenny Pickett.

  • Panthers' Haynes King: Shines in Hall of Fame Game

    King completed 21 of 34 passes for 180 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions during the Panthers' 33-30 win over the Cardinals in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game. He added three carries for 39 yards and a score.

    Kenny Pickett was under center for the Panthers' first three drives before the keys were turned over to King in the second quarter. King got to work right away, leading Carolina on a 10-play, 65-yard drive that ended with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Ja'Seem Reed before adding a five-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Tyus on the second play of the fourth quarter. King made one clutch play after another during the Panthers' final drive, including a 26-yard scramble on third-and-14, and his five-yard run on the game's final play resulted in the game-winning touchdown for Carolina. It was an impressive performance out of King, who signed with the Panthers in late April as an undrafted free agent after his name wasn't called during the 2026 NFL Draft. Although Pickett is the favorite to win the backup QB role behind Bryce Young, King could steal that job away if he can continue to play well in training camp and preseason games. The Panthers' next exhibition game takes place Saturday, Aug. 15 against the Bills.
