Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has an ankle injury and could miss Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Head coach Frank Reich told reporters that Young missed practice on Wednesday because of the injury and would have his ankle checked out again on Thursday.
“We’ll see how he is tomorrow,” Reich said.
Young played in Carolina’s 20-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints Monday night. He initially had his ankle checked out after the game. Reich said that it’s not clear on what play Young sustained the injury.
Andy Dalton would start against the Seahawks if Young can’t play. He practiced with the starters on Wednesday.
“This is why you bring someone like Andy,” Reich said. … “If he plays we believe he gives us a very good chance to win. … Whether it’s Bryce or Andy, the game plan doesn’t change much.”
Reich said that he can’t speak to the extent of the injury and that he doesn’t believe that it impacted Young’s performance against the Saints after speaking with Young about it.
