Carolina Panthers look to Bryce Young for 2026 season improvements

The Carolina Panthers, led by head coach Dave Canales, aim to build on a postseason appearance in 2025 as they enter the 2026 season. Quarterback Bryce Young is coming off a career-best year, having thrown for 3,011 yards and 23 touchdowns. Despite this progress, the Panthers offense ranked low in key metrics, finishing 27th in points and total yards per game. Young faces pressure to elevate his performance further, especially in a competitive NFC South. As the team prepares for the upcoming season, questions remain about their ability to secure a winning record for the first time since 2017.
