Panthers HC Dave Canales is asked if Bryce Young will be made available for trade
If the Carolina Panthers are open to trading quarterback Bryce Young, head coach Dave Canales still won't be the person to tell us about it.
Canales spoke with reporters on Monday, following his team's 28-14 loss to the Denver Broncos. The defeat saw Young make his first start since being benched after Week 2, to where he led the Panthers to just 13 total points and an 0-2 mark.
The second-year passer, in place of an injured Andy Dalton, fared a tad better on Sunday—throwing for 224 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions against the tough Denver defense. That, however, didn't stop Joseph Person of The Athletic from asking Canales if he thinks Young will be made available for a move before next week's trade deadline.
"Yeah, again, those are . . . all those things are stuff that Dan [Morgan] and Brandt [Tilis] are talking through," he replied. "For me, like, my focus is to just address some of the issues we're talking about from a football standpoint. And then, that's really where I have to keep my energy and focus right now."
Canales also did not name his starting quarterback for Carolina's Week 9 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, saying that decision will come within the next few days.
