Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young won’t play in Thursday’s preseason opener against the host New England Patriots, head coach Dave Canales announced.
Canales previously has voiced his intention of keeping Young healthy heading into the latter’s second NFL season.
“Bryce will not play (on Thursday),” Canales said on Tuesday. “We’ll take that kinda week to week and get a sense for, ‘Do we need to get him out there in this system and get a couple of series?’ That’s something that I’ve done in the past. We’ve done both. So for this game, he will not play.”
Undrafted rookie Jack Plummer and recently signed Jake Luton are expected to take bulk of the snaps on Thursday with backup Andy Dalton nursing a quad injury.
Young, 23, completed just 59.8 percent of his passes for 2,877 yards with 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 16 games last season. He was the top overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Alabama.
