For Andy Dalton, bringing the "swag" to practice is only part of his job

CHARLOTTE — Teammates could tell it was going to be a good day Wednesday, when quarterback Andy Dalton rolled out to practice with a black headband.

And again Thursday, when he switched it up to the white version. You have to keep people on their toes. He's done this before.

"He went Cobra Kai," long snapper JJ Jansen said, admiringly.

"I ain't noticed the headband, but it don't surprise me," cornerback Jaycee Horn said. "He comes out there dripping every week."

For the veteran backup, consider that mission accomplished.

"Oh, you want to know the origin of the headband?" Dalton said. "You're asking me about it, so obviously it's getting the people talking.

"I feel like it's a good look. It's a vibe people have noticed, no question. Now you've got the people talking."
