The Carolina Panthers earned their fourth win of the season but they could be without quarterback Bryce Young next week who was injured on Sunday. According to multiple league sources, an MRI confirmed that Young suffered a high ankle sprain. Young was injured after being sacked in the third quarter against the New York Jets.

During a media availability, head coach Dave Canales didn't rule out the possibility of Young playing against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
“We’re going to go day to day on that right now and just really look at him each day,” Canales said. “Test the ankle in different ways to see if we can get him back out there on Wednesday and in some way shape or form. So, we’re going to take it that way. I saw him this morning and talked to him and he’s like lets push this thing, lets see what we got. We’re going to try to take that approach with it and go from there."
If Young isn't available, veteran quarterback Andy Dalton will likely be the starter against the Bills.
