Bryce Young's Chance to Shine as Panthers QB

Bryce Young Ready for His Moment

Bryce Young, the promising quarterback of the Carolina Panthers, is set to take the field this Sunday against the Denver Broncos, marking his first game back in action since Week 2. After a stretch of learning from the sidelines and participating in scout team duties, Young is eager to reclaim his role.

Opportunity Arises Due to Dalton's Injury

Following Andy Dalton’s unfortunate minor sprained thumb from a car accident, Young gets his chance to shine once more. Reports indicate that if Young performs well, he could secure the starting position moving forward. When Carolina originally benched Young, it was with the intent of giving him a chance to start again and demonstrate why he was the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Team Dynamics and His Preparation

• Young's energy and engagement since being benched have impressed coaches, with head coach Dave Canales noting his proactive involvement.
• Young has participated in quarterback meetings and even assisted Dalton during games.
• Despite missing key receivers Adam Thielen and Diontae Johnson due to injuries, Young has maintained sharpness in practice.

Canales expressed confidence in the backup receivers that have stepped up, highlighting the importance of teamwork during this transition.
