Trask Moves Closer to Joining Panthers

The Carolina Panthers are set to sign quarterback Kyle Trask, according to reporting by Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer. The move comes as Haynes King was injured during the recent Hall of Fame Game, setting up a competition at the position.

Trask recently completed an evaluation with the Panthers and his familiarity with head coach Dave Canales could prove crucial after playing for the Buccaneers when Canales was in Tampa Bay. Having known each other through their time in the league, Trask's inside connections could give him an advantage over other potential suitors.

Trask spent four seasons with the Buccaneers before being released last year and has experience on Atlanta's practice squad late in 2022.

According to Joe Person of TheAthletic.com, King is considered week-to-week due to the hamstring injury. This highlights the importance of bringing in a backup quarterback as soon as possible for the upcoming practices and games.
