Impact Walker replaced Mayfield late in the team's Week 5 blowout loss to the 49ers and completed five of six passes for 60 yards. The undrafted quarterback out of Temple has appeared in nine games over the past two seasons with Carolina, but he's thrown just two touchdowns and eight interceptions. However, with Sam Darnold (ankle) and Matt Corral (foot) both on injured reserve, the Panthers don't have many options to turn too. Look for Carolina to make multiple moves this week to shore up its quarterback depth, which will likely include adding Jacob Eason to the active roster from the practice squad.

Sees action late in Sunday's loss Walker completed five of six passes for 60 yards after replacing Baker Mayfield (ankle) late in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the 49ers.
Impact The 27-year-old quarterback handled Carolina's final possession after Mayfield left the game, but Walker ran out of time to put any points on the board. Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports that Mayfield was wearing a walking boot after the game, and if he ends up missing additional time, Walker could get the start in Week 6 against Aaron Donald and the Rams.

Impact Walker started and alternated quarters with rookie third-rounder Matt Corral. However, with Corral suffering a foot injury during the fourth quarter, Walker was called back in late to finish the game. Although he struggled while committing three turnovers Friday, Walker's chances of making Carolina's roster increased after it was subsequently revealed that Corral could now miss the entire 2022 campaign. With Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold currently competing for the Panthers' starting job, Walker could be kept as the third option, or potentially rise to become the second-stringer in the event Darnold is traded.

Expected to start Friday Walker is expected to be the starting quarterback for Friday's preseason matchup with the Patriots, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The Panthers are playing mostly second and third string players Friday night, leaving Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold on the bench while they battle for the regular season starting spot. Walker could enter the 2022 campaign as the third option at quarterback behind Mayfield and Darnold, getting additional reps in the team's second preseason contest.

Plays ahead of Corral Walker completed 10 of 19 passes for 136 yards in Saturday's 23-21 preseason win over the Commanders.
Impact Walker somewhat surprisingly entered the contest ahead of rookie third-rounder Matt Corral, making him the third Panthers quarterback used behind Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold. Given those options, Walker seems unlikely to make Carolina's regular-season roster, making his usage over a developmental option like Corral interesting to note. With Darnold potentially tradeable prior to Week 1, it should be worthwhile to track how the Panthers deploy each of their current quarterback options over the remaining two preseason contests.

Inks one-year extension Walker will sign a one-year contract extension with the Panthers on Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Impact Walker appeared in six games for the Panthers during his second season with the team, and he completed 36 of 66 passes for 362 yards, a touchdown and an interception while rushing seven times for 13 yards. Since Sam Darnold remains under contract with Carolina for the 2022 season, Walker should compete for a backup role during the offseason.
