The Carolina Panthers announced Thursday that Bryce Young, their rookie quarterback, is not likely to play in Week 3's game against the Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle injury.
CHARLOTTE, NC - SEPTEMBER 18: Bryce Young #9 of the Carolina Panthers greets his teammates at the end of the second half during a football game against the New Orleans Saints at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina on Sep 18, 2023. The Carolina Panthers announced Thursday that Bryce Young, their rookie quarterback,Young didn't practice on Thursday, and his backup, Andy Dalton, worked with the starters instead. Young was in the locker room during the open portion of practice.
Young played in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints, but his injury wasn't reported at any point. Head coach Frank Reich told the media on Wednesday that Young's ankle was checked out after the game, and he's unsure when exactly it was injured. Dalton, who also worked with the starters on Wednesday, is a seasoned veteran who was acquired exactly for this purpose. He spent nine seasons as starting QB for the Cincinnati Bengals, and has spent the last few years as an in-demand backup QB. He told ESPN after Thursday's practice that"For me, obviously — absolutely," Dalton said of enjoying being back in the spotlight again.
"When you get a chance to take ownership of what you're doing, and to know how you want it to look and how you want it to feel and see it executed, that is what makes football fun." The Panthers have yet to release information on the extent of Young's injury and how long it might keep him out.
