Overview

• Young is expected to miss Sunday’s home game against the Bills after Monday’s MRI confirmed a high-ankle sprain, per multiple reports.
• X-rays were negative before the MRI, which followed his exit from the 13-6 win over the Jets late in the third quarter.
• Andy Dalton, who finished the game in New York, is slated to start for Carolina in Week 8.
• Head coach Dave Canales has emphasized leaning on the run game, with Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle pacing the offense.
• The Panthers are 4-3 with three straight wins, and their only other quarterback beyond Dalton is practice-squad option Hendon Hooker.
