The Carolina Panthers said backup quarterback Jack Plummer will take the starter role for the opening preseason match this week against the New England Patriots. During a press conference, head coach Dave Canales explained why Bryce Young isn’t playing in the first game.
"We'll take that kind of week to week and, you know, get a sense for, do we need to get him out there in this system and kind of get a couple of series," he said. "So, for this game he will not play."
The Panthers take on the Patriots on the road Thursday at 7 pm.
