Panthers' Baker Mayfield: Named Week 11 starter

Interim head coach Steve Wilks said Monday that Mayfield will start Week 11 against the Ravens after PJ Walker suffered a high-ankle sprain against the Falcons on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Mayfield and Sam Darnold, both now fully healthy, also spent time sidelined with high-ankle sprains this season. With Walker now potentially facing a multi-week absence, Mayfield will return as Carolina's starting quarterback for the first time since Week 5, though he could quickly face pressure from Darnold should he struggle. Back in Week 9's loss to the Bengals, Walker was benched at halftime for performance reasons, leading to Mayfield completing 14 of 20 pass attempts for 155 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions after taking over.
