Bryce Young will start Sunday at quarterback for the Carolina Panthers against the Denver Broncos after Andy Dalton sprained the thumb on his right throwing hand during a car crash in Charlotte.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton was involved in a car accident Tuesday, the team announced. Dalton's wife, three kids and family dog were also in the car at the time of the accident.  A positive is that no one from Dalton's car was transported by emergency medical personnel.
