Veteran QB Andy Dalton again took all the first-team snaps in practice for the Panthers after Bryce Young again sat out with an ankle injury.
Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown said Young's injury happened in the first half, but added that the injury did not affect the quarterback's performance.
Brown said missing Thursday's practice -- when there are heavy installations for the game plan -- is significant for any quarterback, not just a rookie. He didn't, however, rule Young out for Sunday's game just yet. Asked if he'd feel comfortable starting a rookie if he didn't any physical reps this week, Brown didn't hesitate.
"I would, no question -- that rookie," Brown said."I wouldn't make a general statement when it comes to all rookies, but that rookie I would.'' Young ranks 27th in the league in ESPN's Total QBR and 31st in passer rating . He's led only two touchdown drives -- only one over the first seven and a half quarters -- and has three turnovers ."I don't feel like it has been one thing that has caused it," Dalton said."I feel like it has been different things every single time. Different guys taking turns on missed assignments or the execution just hasn't been there.
