Overview
- Young limped into the medical tent after a sack in the Week 3 loss to Cleveland, was cleared to return and finished the game taking every snap while throwing for 291 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
- Young told reporters the issue was "nothing, just football," and he said the soreness did not affect the outcome of the 21-18 loss.
- Coach Dave Canales said Young is "working through something" and described the soreness as the result of being stepped on by a cleat, and media reports say imaging will be done this week to get an official diagnosis.
- Reports say the Panthers expect Young to be available for Week 4 pending the imaging and full evaluation, but the team has not yet released a formal medical clearance.
- Young entered the game among the NFL leaders in passing yards and touchdowns, so the upcoming diagnostic results and practice availability will be closely watched for how they affect Carolina’s offense and game-day roster decisions.
