Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is heading into a week of tests for a lower body injury, even after gutting out Sunday’s loss to the Browns. He finished the game, but it was clear he was moving gingerly after taking a big hit in the first half.
The Rough Ride for Young
The exact body part isn’t specified yet, but head coach Dave Canales said Young got kicked during the game. Canales described it, saying, “He was sore a little bit, I think he took a cleat, I can’t remember exactly where. There was some soreness, he was able to battle through it. Was able to finish. We’re looking at him too, we’re making sure everything’s right.” You love to see a QB battle through, but that “gingerly” movement is never a good sign, especially this early in the season.
More Injury Woes for the Panthers?
Canales might “think” Young will be fine for their Week 4 trip to Detroit, but the imaging is happening precisely to confirm there’s nothing more serious going on. This news comes just after Canales confirmed they’ll be without cornerback Jaycee Horn indefinitely due to a quad injury. That’s a double whammy nobody wants! The team is definitely “hoping that everything with Young comes back with positive news.”
As they gear up for their Week 4 matchup in Detroit, the Panthers are absolutely holding their breath. They desperately need good news on their starting QB, especially with Horn already sidelined.
