How Long Will Bryce Young Be Out? Frank Reich Gives a Projected Timeline

The latest news on the Carolina Panthers' starting quarterback.

Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) did not practice at all this week and has been officially ruled out for Sunday's game in Seattle against the Seahawks. Veteran Andy Dalton will take over in the interim and look to lead Carolina to its first win of the season.

How long will Young be on the shelf?

"They're saying one to two weeks," head coach Frank Reich told reporters on Friday. "I think Bryce has done well this week. I'm optimistic that he's on the right path and that whenever the soonest he can get back is, he will get back. When he gets back and when he gets cleared, he's our guy.

"Bryce has made enough progress that we feel comfortable and he's been cleared to go on the trip, continue the treatment. Even though he can't play it will just still be good for him to be there in that environment, feel that, and certainly see how Andy operates."

The Panthers return home next week to host the Minnesota Vikings before hitting the road to take on the Detroit Lions.
