The rookie is not expected to be ready to play and it would be Dalton who takes the reins
CHARLOTTE, NC. — It is expected that the Carolina Panthers don’t count on the quarterback Bryce Young for Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks after the top pick in the 2023 draft missed his second straight practice Thursday with an ankle injury, the team said Thursday.
The veteran Andy Dalton He participated in all the first team’s plays both days.
“For me, obviously, absolutely,” Dalton replied of enjoying being in the spotlight again. “It’s always good because I’ve had a certain way of operating in my career, and when you go from starting to being a substitute, that’s one of the things you miss.”

The offensive coordinator Thomas Brown He said Young’s injury occurred during the first half, but added that it did not affect the quarterback’s performance.
Bryce Young ranks 27th in the league in total QBR ESPN (35.5) and 31st in passer rating (66.6). He has led only two scoring drives (only one in the first 7½ quarters) and has suffered three turnovers (two interceptions, one fumble).
Andy Dalton He clarified that Young hasn’t been the reason the offense has struggled in the first two games.
“I don’t feel like it was anything that caused it,” Dalton reflected. “I feel like it’s been different things each time. Different guys take turns doing missed assignments or the execution just doesn’t work out.”
Dalton has been successful in Seattle before. During his rookie season with the Cincinnati Bengals, He completed 18 of 29 pass attempts for 168 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-12 victory. He also completed 35 of 51 for 418 yards and two touchdowns during a 21-20 loss to the Seahawks in 2019.
“He still has it,” said the center Bradley Bozeman. “He’s been rocking and rolling this whole time and that’s why he’s here. He’s a great leader and no matter who the quarterback is, whether it’s him or Bryce, they’ll be ready.”
Dalton has a career record of 83-77-2 as a starter for Cincinnati, dallas, Chicago y New Orleans. He went 6-8 last season for the Saintsthen signed a two-year, $10 million contract with Carolina in the offseason.
When asked how he could help an offense tied for last in the NFL in scoring with 13.5 points per game, Dalton stressed that he will simply be himself.
“Pushing guys, pushing the pace and everything we need to do to give ourselves a chance. At the end of the day, we’ve hurt ourselves. We had a chance to change the result, but we had some turnovers that hurt us and different things”.
“For me, just going out there and trying to be as efficient as possible.”
