Panthers’ Passing Game Sputters in Saints Loss as Deep Threat Remains Missing

Coach Dave Canales cast the struggles as a collective issue that will require time to build trust.

Overview

Carolina lost 17-7 in Week 10, finished with 102 net passing yards, and now average 164.0 passing yards per game with 5.9 yards per attempt this season.
Bryce Young went 17-of-25 for 124 yards with an interception, and only three of his passes traveled more than 10 yards downfield.
The offensive line, undermined by injuries, allowed persistent pressure that prevented Young from getting comfortable in the pocket.
First-round wideout Xavier Legette was targeted once with no receptions, extending an uneven run of production.
Tight end Michell Evans (ankle) and linebacker Trevin Wallace (shoulder) left with injuries and will be reevaluated as the Panthers travel to Atlanta in Week 11.
