Last year’s No. 1 overall pick was more than just a member of the scout team here in Week 7.
After playing the role of Washington Commanders star rookie Jayden Daniels in practice throughout the week, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young saw some actual in-game action this afternoon. Young, still the offense’s second-string passer, entered the outing with his team down 40-7 at the 4:55 mark of the fourth quarter.
He relieved starter Andy Dalton—who exited Sunday’s blowout with just 93 passing yards and two interceptions. To that point, the Panthers scored on only one of their nine touches.
Young’s first possession ended in a three-and-out. He completed both of his passes, with the second resulting in a 6-yard loss on a reception behind the line of scrimmage by running back Miles Sanders.
Through seven weeks of his sophomore campaign, Young has completed 37 of his 65 passing attempts (56.9 percent) for 297 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions.
