  "account": "The Carolina Panthers are poised to add veteran quarterback Kyle Trask to their roster following an injury to star game player Haynes King, according to The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye. King suffered a hamstring injury during his impressive performance in the 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, which left the team in need of an additional third-string quarterback to provide support to backups Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett. King is currently deemed week-to-week, as reported by Joseph Person of The Athletic.\n\nTrask, who has some prior experience within the Panthers' system, previously played for head coach Dave Canales during his time as offensive coordinator with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It is highly likely that the Panthers will seek a way to continue developing King, who finished the game with 21-of-34 passing for 180 yards and two touchdowns, while also contributing 39 rushing yards on three carries and scoring the game-winning touchdown with time expiring at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. King expressed his excitement upon learning of the opportunity, stating that he felt he performed at a high level and positively impacted those around him.\n\nThe Panthers' final exhibition game is scheduled against the Houston Texans on August 28.",
