The Carolina Panthers may get one more dress rehearsal out of Bryce Young.
When talking with reporters on Sunday afternoon, head coach Frank Reich was asked about his plans on who he’ll field in Friday’s preseason finale against the Detroit Lions. While he didn’t offer a definitive answer, Reich had a pretty good idea.
“Haven’t totally nailed it down,” he said. “Still talkin’ to the coaches about that. Scott [Fitterer] and I visited for a while last night, just talkin’ about the plan for this game. So, gettin’ closer to finally finalizing that plan. But I would anticipate it’ll be similar to what we’ve done the last two games. But, again, we’ll kinda work out the details here in the next 24 hours.”
Reich was then asked if those details are likely to include the quarterback position.
“Probably so,” he replied.
If the plan for the No. 1 overall pick is similar, expect Young to be out on the Bank of America Stadium turf for two to three drives. In his pair of preseason starts, the rookie has completed seven of his 12 throws for 56 yards over 32 total snaps.
