The Cincinnati Bengals released quarterback Trevor Siemian on Tuesday after the team officially named Jake Browning as the backup to starter Joe Burrow. Siemian lost the backup QB battle to Browning by completing only 55.4 percent of his pass attempts during the preseason for 316 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. The veteran should be able to latch on with another team looking for an experienced backup option. Behind Browning in Cincinnati, the Bengals also have Reid Sinnett as their No. 3. The 31-year-old Siemian was a seventh-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2015 out of Northwestern and spent the first three years of his career in Denver before bouncing around to New York, New Orleans and Chicago.

Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday and is not expected to play in Week 3 on Sunday on the road against the Seattle Seahawks. Veteran Andy Dalton took first-team repetitions at practice on Thursday for the second day in a row with Young hurting, and he's now set for his first start of the season. It's doesn't sound like a particularly serious injury for the first overall pick of this year's draft, but the Panthers don't want to jeopardize his development by throwing him out there on an injured ankle. In a hostile environment, look for Carolina to lean on their ground game as much as possible with Dalton under center, which is good news for running backs Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard. Dalton will be a low-end QB2 option for those desperate in superflex leagues.
