The Carolina Panthers may already be without Bryce Young, just three weeks into his rookie season.
As reported by Darin Gantt of Panthers.com this morning, the 2023 No. 1 overall pick will not participate in Thursday’s practice due to an ankle injury. He also did not participate in Wednesday’s walk-through.
Young sustained the setback some time during Monday night’s loss to the New Orleans Saints. The 22-year-old, however, did finish out the contest—orchestrating a touchdown drive on the team’s final possession.
13th-year veteran Andy Dalton will now get first team reps in today’s session. Head coach Frank Reich spoke about the confidence he has in the three-time Pro Bowler yesterday.
“If Andy’s the starter, we got a lot of confidence,” he said. “This is why you bring someone like Andy in. Our goal is to put our team in position to win championships. And even despite a tough start—that’s still our vision, that’s still our goal, that’s what we’re working towards.
