The Carolina Panthers have high expectations for Bryce Young as their franchise quarterback. However, the rookie missed the last game due to an injury, and the team has now received a significant update on his health.

Earlier this year, the Panthers decided to make a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears to acquire the 1st overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. With it, Carolina selected Bryce Young, a talented quarterback with a bright future up ahead.

Unfortunately, Young’s path through the NFL has not started in the best way possible. He lost the first two games of the season and couldn’t play the third one due to an ankle injury.

Head coach Frank Reich has informed that Bryce Young could start on Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings. ā€œJust have to make sure there’s no major setbacks, no flare-ups,ā€ he said. ā€œBut if he stays on track, then I think things are headed in the right direction.ā€œ

On Week 4, the Panthers used Andy Dalton as starter. He had a very decent game going 34 of 58 passing, 361 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions. However, Carolina’s plan is to use Bryce Young as starter the whole season.
