    DENVER ( KDVR ) — The 4-3 Denver Broncos are hoping to secure another win in front of a home crowd against a lackluster Carolina Panthers team.

    The Panthers have only logged one win this season, coming at the hands of the Las Vegas Raiders – a team the Broncos beat during their matchup earlier this month.

    Key things to know for Broncos vs. Panthers

    Broncos player to watch

    DE Zach Allen: The sixth-year pro is having a breakout season with nine tackles for loss and four sacks in 2024. He needs just five more tackles behind the line of scrimmage to tie DE Elvis Dumervil (2009) for most TFLs by a Denver defensive lineman in a single season. His four sacks are 1 1/2 shy of his career high.

    Panthers player to watch

    QB Bryce Young: All eyes will be on Young, who returns to the starting role after Andy Dalton sprained his right thumb in a car accident on Tuesday. Young was awful in his first two games this season, throwing three interceptions and no touchdowns in a pair of losses. He’s spent the past five games backing up Dalton. The 2023 No. 1 overall pick is 2-16 overall as an NFL starter.

    Key matchup

    Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard vs. Broncos run defense. Hubbard has been one of the few bright spots for the Panthers, rushing for 537 yards and three TDs while averaging 5.2 yards per carry despite playing on a team that is often playing from behind. He will face a stingy Denver defense that is 11th in yards rushing allowed per game (111.7) and fifth in yards allowed per carry (4.1).

    Key injuries

    Panthers: Aside from QB Andy Dalton (sprained right thumb), the Panthers are starting to get a little healthier and hope to get veteran WR Adam Thielen back from a hamstring injury. That would be a big boost for the Carolina offense. Thielen has missed the past four weeks on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. He practiced on a limited basis Wednesday. OLB Jadeveon Clowney returned to practice this week after missing two games with a shoulder injury. Several other players who missed last week’s game, including OLB Josey Jewell, returned to practice this week. … Broncos: Denver is getting healthier. Star CB Patrick Surtain II practiced Wednesday for the first time since he was concussed on Denver’s first defensive snap against the Chargers in Week 6. DT Malcolm Roach had a fever Wednesday and was excused from practice.

    Series notes

    These teams met in Super Bowl 50 and Denver’s defensive-fueled 24-10 victory allowed Hall of Fame QB Peyton Manning to retire a champion just as John Elway did after winning back-to-back Super Bowls in the late 1990s. Neither team has had much success since then, however, and Denver still hasn’t returned to the playoffs since celebrating its third Lombardi Trophy.

    Stats and stuff

    Fantasy tip

    The Panthers are on pace to be one of the worst defenses in NFL history, making every Denver offensive starter — especially RB Javonte Williams — a solid option. Carolina has allowed 243 points through seven games, the third most in the Super Bowl era.
