Panthers’ QB Shake-Up Injury Paves the Way for Big Changes
The Carolina Panthers are making a significant quarterback change for Week 8 due to an injury to their starter.
On Wednesday, coach Dave Canales announced that Bryce Young is expected to step in as the starting quarterback against the Denver Broncos this Sunday. This decision comes after starter Andy Dalton suffered a sprained thumb, which Canales described as a precautionary measure to ensure the team’s health and performance.
For Young, this game presents a crucial opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities as an NFL starter. After being benched just two games into the season, questions about his future with the Panthers and the possibility of trades have emerged. Young will be eager to prove that he can still contribute effectively, whether it’s with Carolina or another franchise down the line.

With the spotlight on him, Young has the chance to turn his season around and silence critics. A strong performance could not only secure his position with the Panthers but also reaffirm his status as a viable NFL quarterback. The pressure is on, and fans will be watching closely to see how he responds.
