Weekly rows describe the supplied week, not a dated transaction. Observed dates show when a record was checked, not when a contract or roster move took effect. Conflicting records remain separate. Only retained observations are shown; game-day status belongs to the availability report.
Carolina’s second-year receiver came within one catch and nine yards of two franchise records, and the defense stopped Detroit on fourth-and-13 to seal the win.
Young threw for 329 yards and two touchdowns against Detroit. His earlier deep-attempt share and pressure rate retain their separate sample windows.
Rush started the September 20 loss to Carolina before Strand replaced him. Michael Penix Jr. returned the following week against Green Bay.
