The Carolina Panthers listed quarterback Bryce Young as dealing with a hamstring injury in the practice report released Wednesday, although he was reported to have been a full participant on the field the day before. Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 draft, is averaging 206.3 yards per game and has thrown for 10 touchdowns over his last eight games. The Alabama product was benched after two poor starts to start the season and did not play in three of the next five games. Young started 16 of the Panthers’ 17 games as a rookie last season, completing 59.8 percent of his passes for 2,877 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also threw 10 interceptions. Young has nine interceptions this season, but only six in his return to the starting role. He played the entire game Sunday as the Panthers survived visiting Arizona 36-30 in overtime. Young completed 17 of 26 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns with no picks. Running back Chuba Hubbard (rest) did not participate Tuesday. The players had a day off at Christmas. The Panthers (4-11) visit fellow NFC South side Tampa Bay (8-7) on Sunday. –Field level media
