The Panthers are planning to sign Luton to a contract, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Luton spent much of last season on Carolina's practice squad before being let go with an injury settlement in December. He'll rejoin the organization as quarterback depth in the preseason with Andy Dalton set to miss multiple weeks due to a quad injury. The Panthers also have undrafted rookie QB Jack Plummer on the roster in addition to starter Bryce Young, so it will be a tough task for Luton to make the 53-man roster.
