According to Bill Voth of Panthers.com, the Carolina Panthers claimed quarterback Taylor Heinicke off waivers today.
The Panthers picked up Taylor Heinicke off waivers from the Texans, who released the quarterback Friday.
Old Dominion’s all-time leading passer, Heinicke landed in Minnesota as an undrafted rookie in 2015. He spent two seasons with the Vikings and was waived/injured before the start of the 2017 regular season.
After a short stint on the Patriots’ practice squad, Heinicke wound up in Houston. He made his regular season debut in Week 16 but suffered a concussion on his ninth snap.
