Bryce Young to start in Week 9, when Saints anticipate Derek Carr's return

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is scheduled to get his second straight start on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, who expect to have Derek Carr return under center for the first time since Week 5.

Andy Dalton was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, but Carolina coach Dave Canales said he wanted to err on the side of caution and give Dalton another week to recover from the thumb injury he suffered in a car accident last week.

Dalton will be the team's No. 2 quarterback.

"It really was me taking the decision out of Andy's hands," Canales said. "If you were to ask Andy, ‘can you go?' he would tell you yes. But he is a week removed from a thumb injury. I just want to make sure we are putting him out there in the right state and the right framework. And I'm excited for Bryce to have another opportunity to build on the things."

Carr, meanwhile, practiced on Wednesday for the first time since injuring an oblique muscle in a game at Kansas City on Oct. 7.

Saints coach Dennis Allen said Carr was on "a little bit of a pitch count."

"I'm really encouraged by what I saw today," Allen said while discussing Carr's form. "Signs are optimistic for this weekend."

Carr has missed three straight games — all losses for the Saints, who are on a six-game skid, their longest since 2005.

Rookie Spencer Rattler started in Carr's place and New Orleans lost all three games by 18 or more points. Fellow reserve QB Jake Haener is expected to serve as Carr's backup this week, Allen said.

Carr was 19 of 23 for 200 yards with three touchdowns in the Saints' 47-10 rout of the Panthers in the season opener at the Superdome. The Saints built a 30-0 lead in the second quarter and were never challenged.

Young is 2-17 as an NFL
