Panthers coach Dave Canales said Bryce Young (ankle) is practicing in full on Thursday.

That should clear up any confusion over whether Young will be starting against the 49ers on Monday night. Young left Week 11’s game against the Falcons with the injury, but played through it on the way to an out-of-nowhere 448-yard performance. He’ll be on the QB2 line against the 49ers injury-ravaged defense, but probably pretty high on it between what could be a sneaky shootout and what feels like a real dearth of good quarterbacks available in Week 12 with four teams on bye.
