With Bryce Young ruled out for Thursday's contest and Andy Dalton dealing with a quadriceps injury, Plummer is set to start while recent signing Jake Luton serves as the backup. Plummer signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in April, and a strong outing Thursday could give the Louisville product a shot at the backup quarterback job behind Young.
