Bryce Young’s Carolina Panthers find themselves at a pivotal point in the NFL season, where even the slightest misstep could jeopardize their chances in the NFC South race. Their trip to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers shapes up as a high-stakes matchup — one in which securing a road win feels essential to keeping their postseason hopes alive.
The good news for Dave Canales and his coaching staff is that they’ll have their starting quarterback available for this crucial matchup. According to NFL.com, Bryce Young has been removed from the injury report and is set to start against the Packers.
“Bryce Young will be back for the Carolina Panthers in Week 9. Young, who missed the previous week with an ankle sprain, has no designation on Friday’s injury report and is slated to start against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.”
It’s worth noting that the injury sustained in Week 7 against the Jets forced Canales to start Andy Dalton at quarterback in the lopsided 40–9 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
