Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton isn't going to return to the team's preseason contest against the Houston Texans with an elbow injury, according to team reporter Darin Gantt.

The Panthers are preparing for their third preseason game, and they’ll have an extra arm on the depth chart to see them through the schedule.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton injured his right elbow on Saturday and did not return in the team's preseason game against the Houston Texans. After the game, coach Dave Cannales said it appears to be a right elbow sprain and he will be evaluated tomorrow. Canales said Dalton told him he was fine.
