Andy Dalton Sidelined with Thumb Injury, Misses Wednesday Practice

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton was sidelined with a right thumb injury and did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Dalton had started in place of Bryce Young, who missed last Sunday's game due to an ankle injury. With Young now a full participant in practice and expected to return, Dalton's absence due to his own injury further clarifies the Panthers' quarterback situation for Week 9.
