CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is on track to return as the starter for Sunday's home game against the Minnesota Vikings barring a setback with his sprained right ankle over the next couple of days, coach Frank Reich said Wednesday.
Young, who missed Sunday's 37-27 loss at Seattle on Sunday, was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It was his first practice since suffering a mild ankle sprain in a Week 2 Monday night loss to the New Orleans Saints.
The ankle was taped when Young arrived for practice but didn't hinder his workload or performance. «The big thing right now is to see how he responds [Thursday],'' Reich said. „Because it was good work today.
Just have to make sure there's no major setbacks, no flare-ups. But if he stays on track, then I think things are headed in the right direction.'' Young missed only one start in three years at Alabama.
