Bryce Young Begins Pivotal Season Under Brad Idzik

Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is entering a critical 2026 campaign under the guidance of offensive coordinator Brad Idzik. In Saturday's 29-14 preseason loss to the Bills, Young saw limited production, completing three of five passes for 18 yards. Idzik has four preseason games to refine the offensive approach, with the team maintaining cautious optimism regarding the potential for an expanded and more effective role for Young this season.
