Carolina Panthers backup quarterback Andy Dalton was a no-go at the team's Fan Fest, anthony Rizzuti of USA Today's Panthers Wire reports.
Head coach Dave Canales was asked about Dalton’s inactivity during his post-practice press conference.
“Andy’s got a quad injury right now,” Canales told reporters. “And so, we’re just trying to get him back. I’m not sure exactly the timeline—it’s a couple of weeks. But we’ll work him through it.”
Dalton isn’t the first Panther to experience a setback with his quad this summer. The 14th-year veteran joins tight end Stephen Sullivan, who was placed on injured reserve just hours before Thursday’s session, on the shelf.
In Dalton’s stead was third-stringer Jack Plummer, who has been with the team since the spring. Canales went on to add that he was encouraged by the undrafted rookie passer getting some fresh opportunities.
