Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales announced that Bryce Young will be the starting quarterback for Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. This decision comes after Young's performance in Week 8, where he threw for two touchdowns despite the team's loss to the Denver Broncos. With Andy Dalton returning from injury, Young's ability to maintain the starting role will depend on his performance against the Saints.

• Bryce Young's performance in Week 8 was a positive sign, throwing for 224 yards and two touchdowns.
• With Dalton returning, Young needs to prove himself to keep the starting job.
• Potential return of Adam Thielen could impact Young's performance.
