Bryce Young didn't play in the first two preseason games, and that was concerning to some.
The first pick of last year's NFL Draft didn't have a great rookie season for the Carolina Panthers, though he wasn't put in a good situation. This season, with a new coach and upgraded teammates, was supposed to be different. But Young didn't play the first two games. There hadn't been any live game reps for Young and the starters in coach Dave Canales' scheme.
Canales played Young in the preseason finale Saturday and it turns out the timing was perfect.
