Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton isn't going to return to the team's preseason contest against the Houston Texans with an elbow injury, according to team reporter Darin Gantt.

As first reported by ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter on Sunday, the Panthers plan on signing quarterback Bryce Perkins. The move comes after yesterday's right elbow injury to backup Andy Dalton, who made an early exit from the 20-3 loss to the Houston Texans.

The Carolina Panthers are signing a UFL quarterback, to help shore up their roster of play callers. Andy Dalton is out hurt.
