Summary
Haynes King is week-to-week with a hamstring injury suffered on the 5-yard touchdown run that gave Carolina a 31-30 Hall of Fame Game win over Arizona with six seconds left.
The setback hits as the undrafted rookie was building momentum in the battle for the No. 2 job behind Bryce Young, after strong training-camp reviews and a sharp preseason debut.
King finished 21 of 34 for 180 yards and two passing touchdowns, adding 39 rushing yards and another score in Thursday's comeback.
Carolina is expected to bring in another quarterback during his recovery, with Kenny Pickett now competing for the backup role on a roster that currently has only three QBs.
The injury comes early in August, leaving the Panthers three preseason games to sort out depth after trading former backup Andy Dalton to Philadelphia in the offseason.
