The Carolina Panthers signed quarterback Bryce Perkins and placed tight end Tyler Mabry on injured reserve on Monday.
Perkins, 28, adds depth behind starter Bryce Young as veteran Andy Dalton deals with a right elbow injury.
Perkins made his only NFL appearances with the Los Angeles Rams in 2022, completing 19 of 34 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in five games (one start). He rushed 19 times for 90 yards.
Perkins played for the United Football League’s Michigan Panthers for the past two seasons and was named the league’s MVP and Offensive Player of the Year in 2025.
The Panthers also have second-year pro Jack Plummer, who has completed 16 of 24 passes for 162 yards and two interceptions while appearing in both Carolina exhibitions. The former Louisville quarterback has yet to play in a regular-season game.
Mabry, 28, is out with a hamstring injury. He has one catch for 7 yards in 10 career NFL games with the Seattle Seahawks (2021-22, 2024).
The Panthers wrap up the preseason Thursday at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They open the regular season Sept. 7 at Jacksonville.
