Panthers' Andy Dalton: Practices in full, won't start
Andy Dalton (thumb) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.After injuring his thumb in a car accident last week, Dalton was inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Broncos, which opened the door for second-year quarterback Bryce Young to make his first start since Week 2. Though the veteran now appears to be fully recovered from the thumb injury, Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that Young will continue to start over Dalton in a Week 9 matchup with the Saints, per Joe Person of The Athletic. Dalton will likely be active Sunday, but in the backup role he had filled in Weeks 1 and 2.

Panthers' Andy Dalton: Inactive in Week 8
Andy Dalton (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Broncos, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.Dalton was already projected to serve as no better than the No. 2 quarterback behind Bryce Young for Sunday's game after the former suffered a thumb sprain during a Tuesday car accident. However, Dalton was never able to get on the practice field during Week 8 prep, making his inactive status fully expected. Undrafted rookie Jack Plummer, who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, will serve as Young's backup Sunday, while Dalton will turn his attention to at least being able to dress for a Week 9 home divisional matchup against the Saints.

Panthers' Andy Dalton: Officially doubtful for Week 8
Andy Dalton (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos.Dalton missed a third straight practice Friday, and it looks like he's trending in the wrong direction to be available as Bryce Young's backup Week 8. The veteran signal-caller sustained a sprained thumb during a car accident Tuesday, but he otherwise avoided any major injuries. Pending both Dalton's health and Young's performance versus Denver, it remains to be seen who will start under center for the Carolina Panthers at home against the Saints in Week 9.

Panthers' Andy Dalton: Not practicing Thursday
Andy Dalton (thumb) is not participating in Thursday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Carolina Panthers' official site reports.Dalton is sitting out a second straight practice heading into Week 8 action. Panthers head coach Dave Canales has already stated that Bryce Young will start Sunday's contest against the Broncos, and it seems like practice squad quarterback Jack Plummer is trending toward working as the 2023 No. 1 overall pick's backup. Dalton is recovering from a sprained thumb he sustained in a car accident Tuesday, and he has yet to be officially ruled out for Week 8.

Panthers' Andy Dalton: Won't start Week 8
Head coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that Bryce Young will start Sunday's game against the Broncos while Andy Dalton recovers from the sprained thumb he sustained in a car accident Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.Dalton was fortunate to avoid any major injuries in the accident, but the sprained thumb kept him from practicing Wednesday. The Carolina Panthers apparently aren't counting on Dalton healing up from the injury in time to play Sunday, and Young being named the starter this early in the week suggests that Dalton could miss games beyond Sunday. While Dalton hasn't officially been ruled out for the Week 8 contest yet, Jack Plummer will likely be elevated from the practice squad to work as Young's backup against the Broncos.

Panthers' Andy Dalton: Sitting out practice Wednesday
Andy Dalton (undisclosed) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.Dalton was involved in a car accident Tuesday, although he didn't require emergency medical attention after the incident. Still, it's no surprise to see the veteran quarterback held out of practice just one day removed from the accident. If Dalton is cleared to resume practicing Thursday and/or Friday, he may be in line to start Sunday's game in Denver, but the Carolina Panthers could also consider returning to Bryce Young under center, either for one game or on a more permanent basis. Dalton has led Carolina to 1-4 record while throwing for 989 yards (6.2 yards per attempt), seven touchdowns and six interceptions since taking over as the starter Week 3.

Panthers' Andy Dalton: Involved in car accident
Andy Dalton was involved in a car accident in Charlotte on Tuesday and is set to be evaluated by team medical personnel, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.Dalton had been traveling with his wife, three children and dog, but none required emergency medical attention after the accident. The quarterback may still have suffered an injury, however, and the Carolina Panthers will likely provide an update on his condition Wednesday after the team medical staff evaluates him. After supplanting Bryce Young as the Panthers' starting quarterback beginning in Week 3, Dalton has guided Carolina to a 1-4 record while completing 66.7 percent of his throws for 989 yards (6.2 YPA), seven touchdowns and six interceptions.

Panthers' Andy Dalton: Pulled late in blowout loss
Andy Dalton completed 11 of 16 passes for 93 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Commanders. He added two rushes for three yards.Dalton has been uneven as the Carolina Panthers' starter, but he was unable to get the offense moving in Sunday's blowout loss for his worst performance of the season. He led Carolina's offense to just 10 total first downs, which limited its time of possession to just 24:55. The results were disastrous for the entire unit, and Dalton was ultimately benched midway through the final quarter. It's unclear if the team is considering returning to Bryce Young as its starter, but Dalton's recent performances have certainly justified a potential switch under center.

Panthers' Andy Dalton: Improved results in another loss
Andy Dalton completed 26 of 38 pass attempts for 221 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing three times for 21 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.Dalton got the nod under center against the Falcons despite being pulled for poor performance late in last week's loss to the Bears. The 36-year-old showed improved results in Week 6 despite being saddled with another loss. That being said, Dalton's upside for next Sunday's tilt against Washington leaves much to be desired for a player who has thrown four interceptions over the last three weeks.
