Andy Dalton Injury News
View AllBryce Young to Miss Week 8 -- Maybe More
Panthers QB Bryce Young suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Jets, according to multiple reports. He'll miss the Week 8 home date with the Bills. ESPN's David Newton reports the team hopes that will be the only game Young misses. Andy Dalton will step in while Young's out.
Bryce Young ready for Week 4
Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) put in a full week of practice and isn't listed on the final injury report. He'll be back under center for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. Young has mustered just 4.2 yards per attempt so far this season and is just a low-end QB2 for Week 4, despite the plus matchup. Consider Young a slight downgrade from QB Andy Dalton for Carolina's pass catchers.
Bryce Young a full-go Wednesday
Panthers QB Bryce Young (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That should put him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. Young still has plenty of long-term upside but has struggled so far, completing 59% of his passes at 4.2 yards per attempt. He looks like at least a minor downgrade from QB Andy Dalton.
