CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young will start Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos after Andy Dalton suffered a sprained thumb on Tuesday in a car accident.
Dalton, his wife, three children and dog were traveling west on Sardis Road near Providence Road about seven miles from Bank of America Stadium when the accident occurred.
Coach Dave Canales said the hope is Dalton can be the backup Sunday at Denver. He said Dalton will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis in terms of who will start moving forward.
Dalton, 36, has gone 1-4 since replacing Young as the starter for Carolina (1-6).
