Carolina Panthers (4-4) quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday’s injury report. Young is on track to return in Sunday’s Week 9 road matchup against the Green Bay Packers (5-1-1).
“We had a little bit of a modified practice today, but he handled it, handled the load,” head coach Dave Canales said of Young. “Tomorrow, we’ll push it again, and we’ll make a decision in the next couple of days.”
Andy Dalton , who started in place of Young this past Sunday, did not practice Wednesday. He has a right thumb injury. Dalton completed 16-of-24 passes for 175 yards and an interception in the 40-9 defeat to the Buffalo Bills (5-2).
“He injured his thumb really early in the game,” Canales said. “He was a stud, you know, he gutted it out and was able to be out there and allow us to finish the game that way. And it just really blew up on him after the game, and he got imaging on it through our process over the last couple of days. So, we’ve got to see where he’s at going into this weekend and make decisions from there.”
