Carolina Panthers to Face Broncos Without Key Offensive Players

Quarterback Bryce Young will start as Andy Dalton, Diontae Johnson, and Adam Thielen are sidelined by injuries.

Bryce Young, the Panthers' second-year quarterback, will start against the Denver Broncos after Andy Dalton was ruled doubtful due to a thumb injury from a car accident.
Wide receivers Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen are both out, with Johnson nursing a rib injury and Thielen recovering from a hamstring issue.
Johnson leads the team with 30 receptions and three touchdowns, while Thielen has been sidelined since Week 3 due to his injury.
The Panthers will rely on rookie receivers Xavier Legette, Jonathan Mingo, and Jalen Coker to fill the void left by Johnson and Thielen.
Safety and linebacker positions are also impacted, with multiple players ruled out or questionable for the upcoming game.
