Panthers provide more details on QB Bryce Young's ankle injury
Panthers HC Dave Canales provided a little more context on the ankle injury to QB Bryce Young.
The Carolina Panthers announced on Wednesday that quarterback Bryce Young will play in their Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos despite an ankle injury. The fourth-year quarterback, who entered the season as the No. 1 overall draft pick, had been listed with an ankle issue since Week 4. However, head coach Dave Canales confirmed that Young will be ready for Sunday's matchup.
Canales praised Young's performance in practice, noting that he looked great and was moving around without any issues. Young did experience some soreness on Monday, but the coaching staff determined that everything was fine. The news about Young's ankle injury came as a surprise, given the physical nature of his recent performances.
In his last two games, he suffered 11 sacks and was frequently pressured, which is likely to continue against Denver's defense.
