Despite a new injury that popped up at the beginning of the week, Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is still good to go this afternoon.
After dealing with a knee issue that dated back to Week 3, Young was listed to this past Wednesday's injury report on account of his ankle. But the fourth-year passer was considered a full participant in practice throughout the week and enters today's matchup against the Denver Broncos without a game designation.
Head coach Dave Canales provided a bit of context on Young's injury and outlook.
"He looked great this week," Canales told reporters on Friday. "He had a phenomenal week of practice. He was moving around, doing all the things we know he can do.
"Had some soreness on Monday. We did our due diligence,
and everything's fine. But that's information we have to be aware of and also that we have to report.
"That being said, he looked great today. Yesterday was a fantastic day for him. Moving around on third down, some of the things we were doing. So, he's ready to go, he's fired up to compete this weekend."
Young, through seven games, has passed for 1,921 yards, 13 touchdowns and two interceptions.
