The Carolina Panthers have been dealt a tough blow with the news that rookie quarterback Will Grier has been injured and will be out for the foreseeable future. The team has decided to turn to veteran quarterback Andy Dalton to take Grier’s place in practice.
Dalton, who was released by the Cincinnati Bengals earlier this year, is no stranger to the NFL. He has been in the league since 2011 and has started in more than 100 games. He is a two-time Pro Bowler and was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2011.
The Panthers are hoping that Dalton can help the team in practice while Grier recovers from his injury. Dalton has a wealth of experience and knowledge that could be beneficial to the team. He is familiar with the Panthers’ offensive system and should be able to provide valuable insight and advice to the other quarterbacks on the roster.
Dalton also brings a veteran presence to the locker room. He has been through many ups and downs throughout his career and can provide valuable guidance to the younger players on the team. His leadership could be a huge asset for the Panthers as they look to make a playoff push this season.
It remains to be seen how much Dalton will be able to contribute in practice, but it is clear that he will bring a lot of value to the team. His experience and leadership could be just what the Panthers need as they look to get back on track this season.
