REPORT: Bryce Young ankle injury is “just a one-week injury”

Not saying he will but if Andy throws 3TDs and 400 yards, will it still be a 1 week injury?

Well the responsibility of making the big picture decision on Bryce will clash with the duty to serve the record for the players who are concerned with winning the games and all that ‘best chance to win’ thing. 
I think they put Bryce back in.

I wonder if hes not really injured but just been benched.  

[jfra78]

I wonder when he returns if any reporters are going to ask him if he learned anything

It seems like they are using the opportunity to get a different perspective. 

They took him out of the game because he was feared to be injured. I don’t think in that moment they had ulterior motives. 

But it gave them time to consider one. They were probably like we are and when they thought Andy was up, decided they were excited about it. 

I could take it further and say maybe they looked at the film and thought hey with a week of reps, what would this look like?
Surely they wouldn’t, right?
 

(I am not claiming they did that last part just joking around).

Made me laugh because it’s so Panthers 

lol I hate being negative about the team I’m always such a glass half full guy and optimistic. But Tepper has done that to me man. It’s not our first time under Tepper having a winning record around this time of year. Always turned out to be a fugazi, so I’m tempering expectations. Obviously I’m way happier being 4-3 than having our seasons over by now like the last several years. But Bryce is truly terrible and I don’t see any way around our weak QB position this year as the schedule gets much tougher. I’m becoming more and more optimistic though about the progression of the D and what Canales can do with a legit QB behind this line and this running game and progression of young WRs. But that’ll take at least next offseason so this year I’m tempering expectations significantly.

I am by nature optimistic about acquisitions and draft picks and how the players need time to develop and grow, and have patience with most things. 
This Bryce thing was so egregious to me, I just couldn’t accept that they were really doing it. It was so fuging stupid that I could see it. I ain’t no scout. 
 

 I am mellowing on him a little because he has shown some growth but I still don’t believe in him. He has to put the hammer down or we are so screwed. Is what it is at this point and what I do know is I am looking forward to Sunday and hoping Andy hasn’t fallen off the cliff. If he is still able to play at the level he was a couple of years ago it will be fun. 
 

One thing I should say for Bryce is that that Dallas game was the most fun game in years, and he didn’t fug it up. But I think that’s his ceiling. Looks really good against the worst D with a 200 yard rusher on his side. Lol peace

Sounds like there's zero urgency to desperately get him prepared to start to keep this winning streak alive lol. Strong run game and multiple sacks/turnovers by the D is the obvious reason we're at 4-3. If it was Mahomes or Allen they'd be shooting them up with so much junk and wrapping that ankle so tight just to keep them on the field.

You know he probably is injured but the whole thing does seem weird. 
 

- Announcers weren’t following the injury and reporters never noticed he was being looked at on the sideline, he just walks to the locker room randomly in the 4th and the FOX team was like hey Bryce is leaving. 
 

-Was in a boot after the game. 
 

-Has not been scene limping at all during or walking to practice.

 

-Reporters calling it a HAS, but Canales being very vague about what it actually is. 
 

He was playing kinda bad against the Jets but no more underwhelming than he usually is. I almost feel like he and Canales talked and they know Andy has a better shot against the Bills and this was some staged deal and then he will comeback next week against GB. 
 

It’s awfully similar to when he tweaked his ankle but had no visible limp and just showed up on the injury report before the Seattle game a few years ago. A lot of people speculated that Reich didn’t want him playing in a tough place like that right away and they sat him. 
 

I will be interested to see if he dresses as the emergency QB this week. They will probably elevate Hooker for show either way, but if Bryce dresses he will be the real back up this week.

There is no way this is a real high ankle sprain if this is a "one week injury."
