No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young\u00a0is dealing with an ankle injury suffered in Monday night’s\u00a0loss to New Orleans.<\/p>\n
The Carolina Panthers conducted a walkthrough Wednesday due to the short week, and Young did not participate due to the ankle issue.<\/p>\n
Coach Frank Reich told reporters it wasn’t clear when Young suffered the injury, and he doesn’t yet know the QB’s status for Sunday in Seattle. The club will have a better idea on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Young’s best drive Monday came on the final possession, where he generated 61 of his 153 passing yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n
It’s been a rough go for Young through two weeks, as the Panthers have struggled to protect the young signal-caller and the wide receivers have offered little room for error. In two losses, Young has completed 59.2 percent of 71 attempts for 299 yards, two TDs and two interceptions.<\/p>\n
If Young can’t play Sunday, backup \ufeffAndy Dalton\ufeff would make the start. Reich noted Wednesday that there wouldn’t be much of a difference between game plans for Dalton and Young. The Panthers also added quarterback \ufeffJake Luton\ufeff to the practice squad on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
