Panthers hand first-team reps over to rookie QB Bryce Young

Associated Press  

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Bryce Young’s time is now in Carolina. The Panthers have given Young the first-team reps in practice this week, a move that coach Frank Reich called the next step in the rookie quarterback’s progression. Reich anticipates Young will continue to get first-team reps “for now” as the Panthers prepare for their mandatory minicamp session next week and training camp at the end of July. “For me it’s just about attacking every day and trying to do everything I can to get better for the team,” Young said. He’s relaxing and he’s making plays, too.” Added Chark: “Everyone is here for him, and we believe he can take us to some really high places.” HORN SIDELINED Injuries continue to plague Panthers starting cornerback Jaycee Horn, who will be sidelined for minicamp with a foot injury.
