Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young returned to the starting lineup in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos. There have been questions about whether this change will be permanent. The change happened after Andy Dalton sprained his thumb in a car accident.

It’s not permanent, but Young will once again be the Panthers’ starter against the New Orleans Saints. Dave Canales pointed out that the decision at quarterback is they are still done weekly.

“Bryce will start this week,” Canales said with emphasis on the word. He goes on to say, “We’ll gather all the information throughout the week with Andy, with Bryce, how he plays this week and make another decision next week.”

Beyond Week 9 is irrelevant for the Saints. This is the second meeting between these two teams in 2024 and both times Bryce Young has been the starter. Carolina’s offense continues to be limited, and New Orleans’ defense should handle them well.
