Last week, the Carolina Panthers’ star rookie, Bryce Young, suffered an ankle injury during Week 2, leaving fans anxious about his absence from the field. However, the latest news suggests that Young might be making a speedy recovery and could potentially make his return to the game this weekend.
Bryce Young was chosen as the top overall pick by the Carolina Panthers during the 2023 NFL Draft. He officially inked his four-year rookie contract, which is valued at $37.9 million and comes with full guarantees, on July 21, 2023.
Carolina Panthers head coach, Frank Reich, announced during a press conference on Wednesday that Bryce Young had returned to practice. This revelation came after Young “tested” his ankle on Tuesday and felt confident enough to resume practice the following day.
While Coach Reich didn’t reveal the extent of Young’s involvement in practice, the team’s recent roster moves strongly suggest their belief in his imminent return. The Panthers lost their practice squad quarterback, Jake Luton when he was signed by the Saints to their active roster. Surprisingly, the team opted not to replace him with another quarterback but instead signed wide receiver Matt Landers to fill the practice squad vacancy. With only two quarterbacks on the roster, it seems the Panthers are reasonably secure in Young’s availability for the upcoming game.
The news of Bryce Young’s potential return has created a buzz in the NFL world, and fans are eager to see their No. 1 overall pick back in action.
Certainly, this doesn’t guarantee his starting position for this week, but there’s a strong indication that he will be ready and available.
