Panthers coach Dave Canales announced Bryce Young will start in Week 9 against the Saints.
Andy Dalton is practicing in full, but the Panthers are being cautious with his return. He suffered a sprained thumb in a car crash last week, forcing the Panthers the turn to the previously benched Young. The former No. 1 overall pick threw for 224 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. It was a rocky performance with a few more high points than usual but just as many mistakes. Canales said Young will make the start this week and the team will go from there, so it’s possible Dalton is back under center for Week 10. Young is not on the fantasy radar for his upcoming matchup with the Saints.
