Bryce Young appears to be stepping back under center for the beleaguered Carolina Panthers (1-6) as they take on Bo Nix and the Broncos (4-3) in Denver Sunday afternoon.
The second-year pro was benched during the Panthers’ Week 2 game against the Chargers in favor of Andy Dalton. The Red Rifle has been serviceable since, but he suffered a thumb injury in a car accident earlier this week and is doubtful for Sunday’s game as a result.
Denver enters the game fresh off a thrashing of the Saints in New Orleans last Thursday. The Broncos outgained the Saints 389 yards to 271 in winning for the 4th time in their last 5 games.
Lets dive into the matchup and find a couple sweats.
