The Carolina Panthers defeat the Houston Texans 16-13 in their preseason finale. Rookie Miles Davis runs for a 1-yard touchdown, and Ryan Fitzgerald adds three field goals as the Panthers hold on for the one-point win.
Carolina’s scoring is spread across four drives led by quarterback Kyle Trask. Trask completes 19 of 28 passes for 147 yards and one interception while directing multiple scoring efforts. The Panthers also sign Trask during training camp after a hamstring injury sidelins Haynes King in the Hall of Fame game. The game ends with Houston unable to overcome Carolina’s late advantage despite keeping the contest close throughout.
