Carolina Panthers coach Frank Reich isn’t concerned over Bryce Young’s limited playing time in the preseason impacting his readiness for the upcoming regular season. The No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft has only attempted 12 passes through two exhibition games with very limited success, completing seven for 56 yards with no touchdowns. Young has led five drives with three of them resulting in three-and-outs. The Panthers have scored just three points with the 2021 Heisman Trophy winner under center.
UpdatedCHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers coach Frank Reich isn’t concerned over Bryce Young’s limited playing time in the preseason impacting his readiness for the upcoming regular season.
Reich said he's relying on Young's extensive workload in practice to help him prepare for the team's Sept. 10 regular-season opener against the Atlanta Falcons, which Young will start. “The competitor in myself, and I think all of us, you want to keep playing," Young said of the preseason. “But there is a reason for everything and we all trust in the coaches.”Reich’s former team, the Indianapolis Colts, didn’t even play Anthony Richardson in this past weekend’s preseason game against the Chicago Bears just four days after selecting him as the Week 1 starter.
“When you go up against that scheme that we faced last week it can be a blitz fest," Reich said."And you're like, ‘how much of it is worth it?’” Reich said."It was great to prepare for it, and go through the mental exercise of getting ready for all of these blitzes, but then it's risk-reward on how much you play.”
