NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Carolina Panthers have signed 43-year-old quarterback Vinny Testaverde and placed Jake Delhomme on injured reserve, the team said on Wednesday.
The 6-foot-5, 235-pound Testaverde ranks sixth in NFL history with 6,529 pass attempts, 3,693 completions and 45,281 passing yards and ninth with 270 touchdown passes.
Testaverde entered the NFL as the first overall pick of the 1987 draft by Tampa Bay and played six seasons with the Buccaneers.
Panthers sign veteran quarterback Testaverde
He then spent five years with the Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens and six seasons with the New York Jets. Testaverde moved on to have single-season stints with the Dallas Cowboys, the Jets and the New England Patriots.
Testaverde, a two-times Pro Bowler, played in three games for the Patriots last season, completing two-of-three passes for 29 yards and a touchdown.
Delhomme, the club's starting quarterback, suffered an injured right elbow during Carolina's game in Atlanta on September 23. The club announced Monday he would be lost for the year.
David Carr replaced Delhomme as the starter but injured his back Sunday against the New Orleans Saints and his status for the Panthers' upcoming game against Arizona is uncertain.
Carolina is 3-2 and tied with Tampa Bay for the lead in the NFC South.
