Panthers QB Bryce Young suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Jets, according to multiple reports. He'll miss the Week 8 home date with the Bills. ESPN's David Newton reports the team hopes that will be the only game Young misses. Andy Dalton will step in while Young's out.

Panthers QB Bryce Young suffered an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jets. He's officially questionable to return and has been replaced by QB Andy Dalton. We'll update Young's status when we know more.

Panthers WR Teteroia McMillan scored his first two career TDs in Sunday’s win over Dallas. The rookie caught 3 of 5 targets for only 29 yards.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan tallied 6 catches for 73 yards in Sunday’s win over Miami. His 8 targets – a 26.6% team share – easily led the team.

The Panthers are losing a pair of starting offensive linemen to extended injuries. RG Robert Hunt suffered a torn biceps in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. He'll have surgery and head to IR, according to ESPN's David Newton. That almost certainly will end Hunt's season. C Austin Corbett tore the MCL in his left knee. Newton reports that Corbett will also head to IR but could be designated to return.

Panthers QB Bryce Young threw for just 154 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs in Sunday's season-opening loss to the Jaguars. He managed just 18 completions among 35 attempts but did add 40 rushing yards on five attempts. Young supplied only 47 passing yards in the first half of a game his team trailed 20-3 at halftime before losing 26-10.

Carolina Panthers rookie WR Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) returned to practice on Tuesday, according to Joe Person of The Athletic.

Panthers HC Dave Canales complimented the development of QB Bryce Young. “I think the pace of our offensive development, evolution is growing at the pace of Bryce,” Canales said via The Athletic. “And he’s showing such great mastery of what we’re doing that he’s allowing us to really push the envelope and do more things.” Recall that Young was drafted to a Panthers team with HC Frank Reich and OC Thomas Brown. Now, the 24-year-old (in July) will get the benefit of growing in Canales’ system.

The Panthers on Tuesday announced a new two-year deal with QB Andy Dalton. It'll reportedly pay him $8 million, with $6 million of that guaranteed and a max value of $10 million. Dalton spent the past two seasons with Carolina, starting six total games.

There's a 70% chance of rain throughout today's Panthers-Buccaneers game. Winds are only expected to come in around 10 mph, though, so weather shouldn't have a big impact on this one. We're not adjusting projections for Carolina or Tampa Bay players.

Panthers QB Bryce Young had the best game of his career completing 26-of-46 for 298 yards and a TD. He also ran for 17 yards and another TD. With little run support to help, Young carried the Panthers to Overtime and a near victory.

Young was in command early in the game, but missed a few fourth quarter throws that could have turned the tides. He ended up completing 15-of-25 passes for 126 yards and a TD. He also ran the ball twice for 30 yards.

Panthers QB Andy Dalton (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice but will back up QB Bryce Young vs. the Saints this weekend, HC Dave Canales announced. “We’ll take all the information from this week, and then go forward and make the next best decision for the team," Canales said of the QB situation. It sounds like a week-to-week decision at this point. Young played one of his better games as a pro in the Week 8 loss to the Broncos -- but that, of course, isn't saying much. He completed 65% of his passes at 6.1 yards per attempt with two TDs and two INTs. Young is still an avoid in all fantasy formats.

Panthers QB Andy Dalton (thumb) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Broncos. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said this morning that the thumb injury could also cost Dalton Week 9. QB Bryce Young starts today in an impossible spot against a strong Denver defense and without WRs Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen.

Panthers QB Andy Dalton (thumb) missed practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. QB Bryce Young is fully expected to start that one. It's an impossible spot against a strong Denver defense and WRs Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen out.

Panthers QB Bryce Young will start this weekend's game vs. the Broncos, HC Dave Canales announced on Wednesday. QB Andy Dalton sprained a thumb in a car accident earlier this week. He'll be evaluated "day to day," Canales said, and might be available as Young's backup on Sunday.

QB Bryce Young is likely to start for the Panthers again this season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. QB Andy Dalton is taking over for Week 3 against the Raiders, but Rapoport hears Young's benching is viewed as more of a break than a season-long decision.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the Panthers are benching QB Bryce Young in favor of Andy Dalton "beginning this week." Young threw for just 245 yards, 0 TDs, and 3 INTs over the season's first two games. Carolina visits the Raiders on Sunday.
