Bryce Young was a full participant in practice Wednesday and that's a good indication that he'll be under center when the Carolina Panthers host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. 

Young missed last week's game with an ankle injury. The rookie, who was the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, tested his ankle Tuesday and got the go-ahead to see how it felt in practice Wednesday. 

Andy Dalton started in Carolina's loss to Seattle in Week 3. Young started the first two games and he completed 59.2% of his passes for 299 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He took a combined six sacks in two starts.
