Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young was sacked six times and pressured on 48.9% of his dropbacks in a 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Young, playing with a brace on his injured left knee, completed just 6 of 16 passes for 46 yards and an interception under duress. "I'm fine," Young said, refusing to use his knee as an excuse. Coach Dave Canales praised Young's toughness but acknowledged the offensive line struggled with pass protection.
The Panthers' makeshift line saw injuries to multiple players, with practice-squad call-up Jake Curhan stepping in. Right tackle Monroe Freeling, filling in for injured Taylor Moton, struggled and was flagged with four pressures and a sack. The Panthers fell to 3-4 after the loss, with Canales emphasizing the need to protect Young better moving forward.
