How Much Will Bryce Young Play vs. Giants?
Bryce Young didn't have an exciting debut, but it wasn't because of his performance. He completed 4-of-6 pass attempts for 21 yards while taking a couple of big hits, including a sack on his final play of the day against the New York Jets.
Considering how stale the offense looked, it's no surprise that Young and the starters will see some action in Friday's preseason affair against the Giants. It was just a matter of how much he would play and on Wednesday, head coach Frank Reich revealed that plan.
"He will play. Probably similar to last game as far as play time. You know, plus or minus. As you guys know, what I've said is it's just kind of TBD. But I just tell the guys, hey, we all got to get ready to play. Obviously want to have some success out there. Want to move the ball, make first downs, score some points. Just play more consistently as an offensive unit and then be better on third down, get our run game going a little bit. Overall on offense, we just need to have a better outing."
Young briefly spoke on his debut and how it wasn't a complete mess in all facets of the offense.
"Obviously, we had more MAs than we want, but I think operation-wise and as far as understanding alignment, assignment there is still for us to clean up for sure but from that standpoint, I thought there were positives there that we want to keep continuing to build off of. There's always good and bad and the stuff that we got to get corrected, we're building day in and day out to do that."
The Panthers and Giants will kickoff at 7 p.m. EST and will be televised on NFL Network.
