Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young didn’t practice Thursday, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. He also didn’t participate in practice Wednesday. He is recovering from a sprained ankle he suffered in the Panthers’ 13-6 win over the New York Jets on Sunday.

Young appeared to suffer the injury when Jets defensive tackle  Jowon Briggs  stepped on his ankle while sacking him on third down with just under four minutes remaining in the third quarter. Young limped off the field and did not return to the game.

Veteran quarterback  Andy Dalton replaced Young at quarterback. The Panthers didn’t score again after Young left the game, but they still squeaked out a victory.

Before leaving the game, Bryce Young completed 15-of-his-25 pass attempts for 138 yards and a touchdown, without throwing an interception. With the win, the Panthers improved to 4-3 on the season.

For reference, the Panthers finished with a 4-12 record last season, Young’s second year in the NFL. Young has completed 61.8% of his pass attempts for 1,150 yards and 10 touchdowns this season, compared to five interceptions. Last Wednesday, he discussed the team’s growth since he was drafted in 2023.
