Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young may not get the entire preseason off after all.<\/p>\n
After going through pre-game warmups, Young and most of the offensive starters shed their gear and watched the opening two preseason games, both losses, from the sidelines. Over the past few weeks, Panthers rookie head coach<\/a> Dave Canales and the coaching staff balanced the threat of injury with the privilege of the newcomers gaining in-game experience together.<\/p>\n Canales rested 32 regulars versus the host New England Patriots on Aug. 8 and 38 against the visiting New York Jets last Saturday. After meeting with staff members Wednesday, Canales determined he wanted to see the first offensive unit during Saturday\u2019s 1 p.m. ET contest<\/a> at the Buffalo Bills (1-1). Ten of the Panthers\u2019 17 regular-season games will begin at that time.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a great opportunity to go through their pre-game routines with each other, to have the communications on the sidelines as we go into the first drive there and just gather information, talk, this is how it\u2019ll feel like,\u201d Canales told reporters following Thursday\u2019s practice. \u201cSo, I love this opportunity for the guys and they\u2019re excited about it.<\/p>\n “I hope all starters are playing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2066\u2066@Panthers<\/a>\u2069 @NFL<\/a> football \u2026 pic.twitter.com\/TwtWPYwm7i<\/a><\/p>\n — Jeff Hawkins (@WriterHawkins) August 21, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nStarters to Play in Preseason Finale After Panthers Trade for Defensive Help<\/h2>\n
