Sept. 19 (UPI) -- First-year coach Dave Canales says the Carolina Panthers "have a great situation" with their quarterbacks, despite benching starter Bryce Young. He also said the Panthers are not considering trading Young.

Canales spoke Wednesday night, hours after the news that the Panthers (0-2) would bench Young, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Canales said replacing Young with veteran Andy Dalton gives the Panthers the best chance to win.
