We still don't know who will be under center for the Carolina Panthers in Week 9.

Just as he was on Sunday, head coach Dave Canales was asked this afternoon if he's decided on his starting quarterback for the team's upcoming matchup against the New Orleans Saints. And again, just like Sunday, no dice.

"It's gonna be a couple of days," Canales told reporters. "These are really important days. The next few, really getting all the way out there to Wednesday to play some live snaps and to do that.

"So, I'll give you guys more information about that. But we really have to look at Andy [Dalton], where he's at in the next couple of days to make a decision."

Dalton, the team's starter from Weeks 3 to 7, was inactive for yesterday's 28-14 loss to the Denver Broncos. The 14th-year veteran sustained a sprained right thumb in a minor car accident this past Tuesday.

His injury gave way to second-year quarterback Bryce Young, who made his first start since Week 2. Young completed 24 of his 37 attempts for 224 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
