Former Rams QB Bryce Perkins, who won UFL MVP this season, is getting another shot in the NFL with the Carolina Panthers.

Andy Dalton left Saturday's game with an elbow injury, so the Panthers are adding a quarterback to the roster for the final week of the preseason.

Perkins joins Carolina after the team's No. 2 quarterback, Andy Dalton, suffered an elbow sprain during Saturday's 20-3 preseason loss to Houston. The UFL star last spent time in the NFL as a backup with the Rams in 2022,

The Panthers returned to practice on Monday. Dave Canales offered updates on injuries, the preseason finale against Pittsburgh and more.

The Carolina Panthers plan to sign free-agent quarterback Bryce Perkins "this week," according to Darin Gantt of the team's official website.
