Panthers HC Dave Canales speaks on his team's new addition at QB
There's a new Bryce in town for the Carolina Panthers. Monday marked the first practice in Charlotte for quarterback Bryce Perkins, whom the Panthers officially signed this morning. Head coach Dave Canales was asked about his early impressions of his newest passer following the session. "Accurate," Canales replied. "He came in today, really excited to get him in here. The UFL MVP. He's earned this opportunity. And just going into the [Pittsburgh] Steelers game—if Andy [Dalton] can't turn it around and get the soreness out and we don't have to play him, then Jack [Plummer] and Bryce can play that game for us." That game, Thursday's preseason finale against Pittsburgh, won't see starting quarterback Bryce Young. The Panthers may also hold out their second-stringer in Dalton, who sustained a mild muscle strain during Saturday's outing in Houston. Those absences could set the stage for Perkins, the United Football League's reigning Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year. The 28-year-old, who was also a member of the Los Angeles Rams between 2020 and 2022, totaled 1,611 yards and 14 touchdowns over seven contests for the Michigan Panthers this past spring. Canales continued. "It's great to be able to just reward somebody who's gone to another league, played so well, but also spent three years with the Rams," he added. "So, there is some carryover. Some of the words are familiar to him, but it's kinda a marriage of two different systems. But football's football—and he's played a lot of it, he's played significant snaps. I'm excited for him to be here." Follow @ThePanthersWire on Twitter/X for more Panthers content.

Cowboys to sign former Broncos' third runder, UFL champion to help injury-riddled position
NFL Networks Tom Pelissero broke the news that DC Defender and 2025 UFL Champion Michael Ojemudia intends to sign with Dallas to help with depth as the team maneuvers through a slew of injuries at the cornerback position. The veteran cornerback was selected in third-round of the 2020 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos, and spent time with Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus while the pair were in Chicago in 2022. The former Hawkeye played in all 16 games as a rookie and started 11 games for Denver. Injuries would limit him to just 10 regular season appearances form 2021 -2022 which led him to find refuge in the spring league. Ojemudia played in nine games for the Defenders finishing with 20 total tackles, four pass break-ups and had one interception. Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs missed the final six games of the 2024 season with a knee injury, and has yet to practice with the team this offseason. Third-round pick Shavon Revel Jr. has also yet to make his debut as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered in college. CB's Josh Butler and Caelon Carson are also dealing with injuries that may threaten their start of the upcoming season.

Former Rams QB Bryce Perkins finally gets another shot in NFL after winning UFL MVP
Bryce Perkins was last on an NFL roster in 2022 when he was with the Los Angeles Rams. Since then, he has spent two years in the UFL refining his game, and it finally has earned him another shot in the NFL. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the Carolina Panthers are signing the former Rams quarterback and reigning UFL MVP. This is Perkins' first opportunity in the NFL since the 2022 season, when he was with the Rams. In the UFL this past season, Perkins was named league MVP after throwing for 1,342 yards and nine touchdowns in seven games, while also rushing for 269 yards and five touchdowns. A dynamic dual-threat quarterback who played at the University of Virginia, Perkins has always been an electric runner, but he's seemingly improved as a passer during his time in the UFL, too. He posted a league-best 108.7 passer rating in the UFL this season, while also leading the league with an average of 8.5 yards per pass attempt. With the Rams, Perkins started one regular-season game, which came against the Chiefs in 2022. In that loss, he threw for 161 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions; he rushed 19 times for 90 yards, as well.
