Haynes King earns roster spot with the Carolina Panthers

Summary

The Carolina Panthers announced Sunday that Haynes King has secured a position on the team's 53-man roster. The quarterback earned the spot despite having his preseason shortened by a hamstring injury. His inclusion followed a notable performance during the NFL Hall of Fame Game earlier this month. In that game, King led the team to a victory over the Arizona Cardinals by throwing for 180 yards and two touchdowns without committing a turnover. He becomes the fourth former Longview Lobo currently active in the NFL, joining Trent Williams, JaMycal Hasty, and Broderick Washington Jr. The Panthers are scheduled to begin their regular season in several weeks.
