Bryce Young injury update: Panthers QB returns after ankle injury in Week 11 vs. Packers image

The Carolina Panthers may be without Bryce Young for the rest of their Week 11 NFC South Divisional matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11. 

The Panthers orchestrated a nice scoring drive that ended with quarterback Bryce Young finding rookie Tetairoa McMillan in the endzone for a score. On the second drive of the game, though, Young suffered an injury. He was sacked by a Falcons defender and looked to be in a lot of pain.

Young came out of the game and went right into the locker room. He was listed as questionable with an ankle injury, but was able to return to the game later in the quarter. 

Here are the latest injury updates for Young.

Young was sacked hard by a Falcons defender. He stayed down on the field and was tended to by medical staff.

Young was then taken right into the locker room for further testing. 

Young was diagnosed with an ankle injury and was listed as questionable to return. The injury occurred on the third down of a Panthers' drive, and they punted right after. By the time the Falcons' next drive ended, Young was able to come back into the game, technically not missing a snap.
