The Story in 60 Seconds

CBS Sports analyst Damien Woody issued a reality check to the Carolina Panthers, warning that quarterback Bryce Young cannot survive the season if the team fails to fix its pass protection. Young suffered heavy pressure during Carolina's Thursday Night Football loss to the Green Bay Packers. Dean Jones of Cat Crave argues that Woody is correct, highlighting that the quarterback has been sacked 11 times across his last two games.

Carolina played without key offensive linemen Ikem Ekwonu, Taylor Moton, and Damien Lewis, leaving Young visibly hesitant while managing an existing knee issue. With upcoming opponents like the Denver Broncos, Jones stresses that head coach Dave Canales must make necessary adjustments during the mini-bye to avoid organizational failure and keep Young healthy.
