Panthers Add QB Mike White, Place Guard Brady Christensen on Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers have signed quarterback Mike White from their practice squad to the active roster, prompted by Andy Dalton's thumb injury which limited his practice participation. White, 30, has experience with several NFL teams including the Jets, Dolphins, Bills, and briefly the Bengals, and could serve as a backup to Bryce Young, who is recovering from an ankle injury but is expected to play. In a related roster move, the Panthers placed guard Brady Christensen on injured reserve after he suffered a season-ending Achilles tear. To compensate for Christensen's absence, Carolina also added defensive tackle Jaden Crumedy to their practice squad. White's signing provides the Panthers with additional depth at quarterback ahead of their game against the Green Bay Packers. This series of moves reflects the Panthers' adjustments to injuries while maintaining competitiveness in their 2025 season.
