CHARLOTTE — Panthers head coach Dave Canales said they’ve continued to see “progress” from quarterback Bryce Young, but not enough to be supremely confident about his ability to go Sunday against the Bills.
Young was listed as doubtful on the final injury report, after not practicing for the third straight day.
“He’s made progress every day, and we want to just keep our options open right now,” Canales said. “Didn’t want to rule him out, just wanted to say, OK, you woke up today, it was better than you did yesterday, so tomorrow we’ll move around. We rested it pretty good today. We had two good days of work on that ankle, so we’ll take a look at it again tomorrow, and then we’ll make the best decision from there.”
Young has only missed one other game in his career because of injury, in Week 3 of his rookie season at Seattle. As would be the case this week, Andy Dalton replaced him in the lineup.
Canales said they’ve discussed the situation with Young throughout the week and said they wanted to make the smart decision for all involved.
“I talked early in the week and said, hey, let’s just push this thing every day, let’s see where we’re at, for my own sake, for the team’s sake, all the guys are they put, they’re pulling for Bryce to be out there to play with us, play with this group,” Canales said. “You’ve got to be smart, but I think it’s wise of us to just take it day by day and see if we can get back out there and continue to build and to push our football forward.”
