Panthers' Young to return vs. Packers after 1-game absence

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young will play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers after missing last week's game with an ankle injury, the team announced Friday.

Young was a full participant at practice this week and had no designation on Friday's injury report. The 2023 No. 1 pick has passed for 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns against five interceptions while completing 61.6% of his passes through seven starts in 2025.

Meanwhile, Andy Dalton is dealing with a broken thumb and is questionable, meaning Mike White - whom the Panthers recently signed to the active roster - could serve as Young's backup.

Dalton struggled against the Buffalo Bills last week, throwing one interception and getting sacked seven times.
