Coming away as the hero from what could have been the greatest Hall of Fame Game ever had a price for Panthers quarterback Haynes King.
As first reported by Joe Person of The Athletic yesterday afternoon, King sustained a hamstring injury in the team's preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals this past Thursday night. The rookie, who took the bulk of snaps under center, pushed the Panthers to a thrilling 33-30 victory—completing 21 of his 34 throws for 180 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for the game-winning score as time expired.
Head coach Dave Canales provided an update on King's status following Sunday morning's practice, telling reporters that he does not expect to see him play in the next exhibition contest.
"From what I understood, it was on that last play—where he kinda lunged forward and dove for the goal line, and really gave everything he had, literally," Canales said of the injury.
"We'll just keep evaluating him on a weekly basis. I do not seeing him coming back for this game, for sure. We'll reevaluate him on the following week to see when we can get him back out there."
