Overview
- Carolina used the roster spot opened by offensive lineman Brady Christensen’s injured reserve designation to sign quarterback Mike White from the practice squad after Christensen underwent Achilles surgery.
- Bryce Young was a full participant in practice for the second straight day, increasing the likelihood he returns against the Packers on Sunday.
- Andy Dalton said he has a broken right thumb sustained early in the loss to the Bills; he practiced on a limited basis Thursday and said he could play if needed.
- The Panthers cited White’s experience and recent familiarity with the Bills’ offense, noting the 30-year-old offers an immediate option behind Young if Dalton is unavailable.
- To backfill the practice squad, Carolina re-signed defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy; the 4-4 Panthers visit Green Bay in Week 9.
