Before taking the practice field on Wednesday, Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich told reporters that he’d have more on Bryce Young’s return after the session was complete. Well, it’s after, and here’s more . . .
“First thing I would say is hats off to Bryce for getting himself ready to get out there today,” Reich said this afternoon. “You could see the determination in his eyes. You could feel his energy and the will to be out there. He took his normal percentage or reps and I thought he looked good.”
Young, who is dealing with an ankle sprain, sat out this past Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks. But after missing the game, as well as all of the practice sessions leading up to Week 3, the rookie quarterback got off to an encouraging start for Week 4 as a full participant.
Reich then offered the following of Young’s status against the Minnesota Vikings:
“I think the big thing right now is to see how he responds tomorrow. Because it was good work today. Just have to make sure there’s no major setbacks, no flare-ups. But if he stays on track, then I think things are headed in the right direction.”
Next up: Thursday.
