Panthers rookie QB Haynes King shines but suffers hamstring injury

Rookie quarterback Haynes King impressed in the Panthers' 33-30 win over the Cardinals, throwing for 180 yards and two touchdowns while scoring the game-winning rushing touchdown. However, he sustained a hamstring injury during the final play and is now sidelined. ESPN’s Adam Schefter predicts King could still play a key role in the team's 2026 plans, possibly in a Taysom Hill-like capacity. The Panthers have signed Kyle Trask, adding depth to their quarterback position alongside Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett. King's situation will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis moving forward.
