Another bad season opener for Bryce Young, Panthers

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Bryce Young was upset Sunday as he walked past Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales on the sideline after an unsuccessful pass on fourth-and-1 from the Jacksonville Jaguars' 5-yard line early in the third quarter.
Canales patted his quarterback's head in encouragement, then Young turned and said something before slamming his helmet to the ground and taking a seat on the bench with a blank look of frustration that told the story of the 26-10 season-opening loss.
Canales wouldn't expand on what was said, only that it was "something he and I will work through, talk about,'' and that what Young said wasn't directed at him.
