Carolina Panthers rookie first-round quarterback Bryce Young and the starting offense will see more action in the second preseason game on Friday against the New York Giants after they looked stale in the preseason opener last week.

Jose Abreu Not Swinging, Won't Return Sunday

Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu (back) hasn't resumed swinging a bat, and manager Dusty Baker said it's unrealistic to expect Abreu to come off the 10-day injured list when he's first eligible to return this Sunday.
