Bryce Young Likely Out Week 8 vs. Bills

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young suffered a high-ankle sprain late in the third quarter of Sunday’s 13-6 win over the New York Jets, and an MRI confirmed the injury. Young is expected to miss the Panthers’ Week 8 home game against the Buffalo Bills, with a typical recovery often taking two to four weeks depending on severity. Veteran Andy Dalton finished the game and is expected to start in Young’s place while the team prepares under the assumption he will start and monitors Young’s progress. The Panthers are also weighing adding another quarterback or activating practice-squad options such as Hendon Hooker for depth. Carolina is riding a three-game winning streak and sits at 4-3.
