Carolina Panthers' head coach has announced that Bryce Young will be starting as the team's quarterback in their upcoming game against the Denver Broncos. This decision comes after Andy Dalton suffered a sprained thumb on his right throwing hand due to a car crash in Charlotte. Dalton is currently listed as day-to-day, with the possibility of being the backup quarterback this week depending on his recovery.
Young, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft, has been given another opportunity to showcase his skills after being benched earlier in the season. Despite his 2-16 record as an NFL starter, the coaching staff is optimistic about his performance moving forward.
The Broncos, known for their strong pass defense, will pose a challenge for Young as he steps back into the starting role. However, the Panthers' coaching staff has expressed confidence in Young's abilities and determination.
On the injury front, veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen returned to practice after missing the last four games with a hamstring injury, providing a boost to the team's offense.
Dalton, who was involved in the car crash, expressed gratitude that his family and the other driver involved were unharmed. He emphasized the importance of faith and family support during challenging times.
As Young prepares to lead the Panthers on Sunday, the team remains focused on their upcoming game and the opportunity for Young to prove himself once again in the starting role.
