CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young will miss one to two weeks with a sprained ankle suffered in Monday night's loss to the New Orleans Saints, coach Frank Reich said on Friday.
The top pick of the 2023 NFL draft will be replaced by veteran Andy Dalton, starting with Sunday's game at Seattle.
Despite Carolina's 0-2 start under Young, Reich said the former Alabama star will return as the starter when healthy regardless of how well Dalton does. Reich didn't rule out next week's home game against Minnesota, noting Young already has been cleared medically to travel to Seattle.
