Panthers' starting offense, Bryce Young struggle mightily in 1st preseason action of 2026
The Panthers' first-team offense looked alarmingly weak in their first taste of preseason action in 2026.
The Carolina Panthers' starting offense faced significant challenges during their preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on March 14, 2026. Head coach Joe Brady struggled to find answers through the first-string offense. Starting quarterback Bryce Young had limited opportunities on his first drive, completing only a short run followed by a short pass to tight end Tommy Tremble.
Young's subsequent drives were met with defensive pressure, resulting in sacks and incomplete passes. On his final drive, Young struggled to find open receivers and ultimately took a sack. The Panthers' offensive line, missing key starters Damien Lewis and Robert Hunt, struggled to provide adequate protection for Young. With the run game relying on quality blocking, the team's chances of overcoming the Bills' Super Bowl credentials appeared slim.
