CHARLOTTE — The Panthers officially added quarterback Bryce Perkins to the roster Monday morning.

To make room for him on the 90-man roster, they placed tight end Tyler Mabry on injured reserve.

Mabry, who was signed in July, did not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans.

Perkins gives them an extra quarterback for this week, since starters aren't expected to play Thursday night against the Steelers. Backup quarterback Andy Dalton left Saturday's game with an elbow issue.

Perkins spent three years with the Rams, and was most recently the MVP of the UFL .
