Bryce Young heads to the locker room after the sack, but returns without missing a beat

Panthers quarterback Bryce Young appeared to suffer an injury in the first quarter of today’s game in Atlanta, but returned without missing a beat.

Young was sacked by Billy Bowman and remained unwell. Eventually, he got up and made his way to the locker room under his own power, escorted by Panthers medical staff.

There was no immediate news on the nature of Young’s injury, but by the time the Panthers’ offense returned to the field, Young was back.

Andy Dalton warmed up to replace Young at quarterback for the Panthers, but never took the field.

The Falcons and Panthers are tied 7-7 at the end of the first quarter.
