Inks one-year extension
Walker will sign a one-year contract extension with the Panthers on Monday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Analysis: 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.

Carolina activated Walker (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Walker stands to be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Buccaneers, but he's unlikely to see action with both Sam Darnold and Cam Newton available. He was a healthy scratch Week 16.

Analysis: Walker was a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, and he'll now be forced to isolate from the team. It's not yet clear whether he's tested positive for COVID-19, but he isn't guaranteed to suit up in Week 17 even if he's activated prior to Sunday.

Goes on inactive list
Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: After starting Week 10 against the Cardinals following Sam Darnold's (shoulder) placement on injured reserve, Walker had served as Carolina's No. 2 quarterback in each of the past four games behind Cam Newton, appearing in relief in two of those contests. With Darnold having been reinstated from IR on Saturday, however, Walker drops to third on the depth chart and is unlikely to play at any point over the Panthers' final three games, so long as both Newton and Darnold stay healthy.

Expected to be part of game plan
Coach Matt Rhule said Monday that the plan is to continue to play both Walker and Cam Newton, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Walker has played exactly 15 offensive snaps in each of the last two contests, completing 50 percent of his 22 passes for 162 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Rhule reiterated after the 29-21 loss that Cam Newton remains the starting quarterback, but he won't hesitate to give Walker a chance if the offense is struggling, which it has during the past two games. Nonetheless, as long as Newton remains in the picture, Walker's fantasy potential is hindered. Both signal-callers face an…read more

Mixed bag as in-game replacement
Walker took over for an ineffective Cam Newton with 6:10 remaining in the Panthers' 29-21 loss to the Falcons on Sunday and completed six of 12 passes for 75 yards with a touchdown and an interception while losing five yards on two rushes. He also committed a fumble but recovered.
Analysis: Walker wasn't able to fare much better than the man he replaced under center, but he did manage to lead a six-play, 51-yard scoring march late in the fourth quarter that he capped off with a five-yard touchdown pass to Robby Anderson. David Newton of ESPN.com reports coach Matt Rhule confirmed after the game that Newton is still the starter, but as was made clear Sunday, he likely won't hesitate to make a switch if things start to go south in Week 15 on the road against the Bills.

Will operate as backup Sunday
Head coach Matt Rhule reiterated Wednesday that Cam Newton is the team's starting quarterback, but Walker will play if he can help the Panthers win, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Walker replaced the ineffective Newton with just over 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of the Panthers' Week 12 loss to the Dolphins, with Carolina training by 20 points when he checked into the contest. While operating in hurry-up mode, Walker had difficulties of his own, throwing a pick and conceding four sacks. Coming out of the bye, Newton remains the starter, but Walker will be available if the offense is stagnant once again.

Replaces Newton late Sunday
Walker completed five of 10 passes for 87 yards and an interception in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Walker replaced the ineffective Cam Newton with just over 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and Carolina trailing by 20 points. Operating in hurry-up mode, Walker had difficulties of his own, throwing a pick while being sacked four times. With the Panthers now entering their bye week, Newton should have more time to familiarize himself with the offense, but Walker would stand to come off the bench should Newton underwhelm again.

Could be involved as backup Week 11
Panthers head coach Matt Rhule suggested that Walker could still have a role in the team's offensive game plan Sunday against Washington, even with Cam Newton having been named Carolina's starting quarterback, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Since Newton signed with Carolina late last week, he didn't have sufficient time to get fully up to speed with the new playbook and had a limited role behind Walker, who started in place of Sam Darnold (IR/shoulder) and completed 22 of 29 passes for 167 yards and an interception while rushing three times for six yards and losing a fumble in the Panthers' 31-10 win over the Cardinals. Though Walker played 89 percent of the offensive snaps and was effective enough as a game manager, he ceded most…read more

Likely headed for backup role
Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Monday that Cam Newton will take most of the first-team reps in practice this week, signaling that Walker likely will return to a backup role for Carolina's Week 11 matchup with Washington, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports. "If [Newton is] ready to start, great," Rhule said. "If he's not quite ready, obviously P.J. is available."
Analysis: After Sam Darnold (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Friday with the expectation that he'll be sidelined for the remainder of the season, Walker stepped in for his second career start over the weekend in the Panthers' 34-10 win over the Cardinals. Though the Panthers were essentially in control of the contest from opening kickoff, Walker wasn't the solid game manager that Carolina's 24-point margin of victory implied. While he completed 22 of his 29 throws, Walker averaged a weak 5.8…read more

Turns it over twice
Walker completed 22 of 29 passes for 167 yards and an interception but threw for a two-point conversion in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Cardinals. He also rushed three times for six yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: Walker started in place of Sam Darnold (shoulder), but he quickly saw fellow quarterback Cam Newton steal the spotlight. Newton began by rushing for a two-yard touchdown on Carolina's first drive, then threw a two-yard score on the next one. In his first game back with the Panthers, Newton only featured here and there, but his overall impact still trumped that of Walker, who turned it over twice despite otherwise finishing with a tidy completion percentage.

Walker officially will be the Panthers' starting quarterback Sunday at Arizona, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: With Sam Darnold potentially sidelined for the rest of the season due to a fractured right scapula, Walker will be given the first chance to serve as Carolina's No. 1 QB. But it could be a one-and-done situation for Walker after the Panthers brought Cam Newton back into the fold Thursday.

Analysis: After Sam Darnold sustained a broken right scapula Week 9 against the Patriots, he was given a recovery timetable of at least four weeks. Walker initially was the next man up, but Carolina opted to have a reunion with Newton on Thursday after nearly 20 months apart. According to Joe Person of The Athletic, coach Matt Rhule noted Friday it is "not very likely" that Newton plays Sunday, but his mind could be swayed by how he looks Saturday.

Analysis: In the wake of the Panthers re-signing Cam Newton, there are question marks surrounding the quarterback room in Carolina. Sam Darnold is slated to miss at least four weeks due to a fractured right scapula, leaving Walker as the in-house candidate to lead the offense in the meantime.

Head coach Matt Rhule announced Wednesday that Walker will start at quarterback in place of Sam Darnold (shoulder) this weekend at Arizona, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Walker will move up on the depth chart after Rhule said that Darnold will be out at least four weeks due to the fractured right scapula he suffered this past Sunday versus the Patriots. In seven appearances (one start) with the team over the last two seasons, Walker has completed 35 of 71 passes (49.3 percent) for 401 yards (5.6 YPA), one touchdown and five interceptions.

Starting chance opens up
Walker is on track to start Sunday against the Cardinals with Sam Darnold (shoulder) dealing with a partially fractured scapula, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Darnold is expected to be sidelined multiple weeks, and Walker is the next man up as the only other quarterback currently on Carolina's active roster. Matt Barkley is being added from the Titans' practice squad, pending a physical, but he should serve as the backup quarterback. Walker has completed three of 15 pass attempts for 33 yards across three appearances this season, but he's now poised to receive a more extended look under center for the Panthers.

Walker isn't expected to start Sunday's contest against the Patriots with Sam Darnold (shoulder) available, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Walker was in line to start if Darnold remained in the concussion protocol, but the latter gained clearance from an independent neurologist Saturday. Darnold still was questionable due to a right shoulder injury, but following pregame warmups he's been given the thumbs up for game action.

Darnold was later diagnosed with a concussion, then was listed as limited with both the head injury and a right shoulder issue on Wednesday's practice report.

Replaces injured Darnold
Walker did not complete his only passing attempt after replacing Sam Darnold (concussion) in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Walker saw action for the second straight game, but this time he entered due to Darnold being injured rather than being ineffective. Although the Panthers being on the three-yard line when Walker entered immediately gave him a chance to throw a touchdown, the signal-caller couldn't capitalize on his opportunity. With Carolina declining to pass on a pair of three-and-out drives afterward, Walker's exposure was limited, but he may be forced to lead the team if Darnold isn't cleared ahead of Week…read more

Enters in relief
Walker completed three of 14 passes for 33 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Giants. He added one rush for 13 yards.
Analysis: Walker entered the game to start the fourth quarter in favor of Sam Darnold. He wasn't particularly effective, as he displayed poor accuracy and worked mostly in short areas of the field. On the other hand, he also showcased his ability on the ground, which would be a significant boost to his fantasy value if he were to get an ongoing chance as the starter.

Wins backup job
Walker is one of two quarterbacks on Carolina's roster after the team cut Will Grier on Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Walker appears to have won the No. 2 job for a second straight year, despite completing just 16 of 39 passes (41.0 percent) this preseason. He at least avoided any sacks or interceptions, after throwing five picks on 56 pass attempts for the Panthers last season. Walker did dominate in the XFL back in 2020, and he'll have talented pass catchers surrounding him if he replaces Sam Darnold at any point this year.

Nondescript third outing
Walker completed five of 10 passes for 83 yards in Friday night's 34-9 preseason win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Walker played behind starter Sam Darnold and ahead of competitor Will Grier, but he didn't do much to distinguish himself. In contrast, Grier found the end zone with an uncharacteristic 24-yard touchdown run. Following a couple impressive performances from Grier, it remains to be seen whether Walker's incumbent status will be enough for him to hold onto Carolina's second-string job ahead of Week 1's matchup against the Jets.

Lousy second showing
Walker completed just one of eight passes for eight yards in Saturday's 20-3 preseason loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Walker watched Will Grier start and complete 11 of 14 passes for 144 yards prior to entering the game during the third quarter. From there, Walker struggled to move the ball whatsoever, enabling Grier's performance to close the gap on the competition to serve as Sam Darnold's backup this season. With that job still up for grabs, Friday's exhibition finale versus the Steelers takes on increased importance for Walker and Grier.

Looks strong in preseason loss
Walker completed 10 of 21 pass attempts for 161 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 preseason loss to Indianapolis.
Analysis: Walker -- Carolina's projected backup quarterback -- got the starting nod under center with Sam Darnold sitting this one out. The former XFL star surprisingly did not record a rushing attempt, but he did put his scrambling ability on display by evading a couple of would-be sacks. Barring something unforeseen, Walker should begin the regular season as the Panthers' backup, but his rushing ability brings some fantasy intrigue should he be asked to start at any point this year.

Analysis: Walker received his first NFL start over Will Grier last week against the Lions when Bridgewater was inactive due to an MCL sprain. The fourth-year pro essentially acted as a game manager while Carolina rolled to a 20-0 win, completing 24 of 34 passes for 258 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. With Bridgewater beginning Week 12 as a full practice participant, he looks like he'll be ready to reclaim starting duties Sunday, but Walker should stick ahead of Grier as the No. 2 quarterback.

Analysis: Making what could be termed a quasi-last-minute spot start for Teddy Bridgewater (knee) -- whose status was in doubt until pregame warmups -- Walker acquitted himself very well overall in his first NFL opportunity to open a game under center.

Analysis: Walker and wide receiver Cam Phillips were the big stars of the XFL, leading Houston to a 5-0 record before the rest of the season was suspended. Walker led the league in passing yards (1,338) and touchdowns (15), completing 64.7 percent of his throws while tossing just four interceptions. He previously spent time with the Colts' practice squad in 2017, 2018 and 2019, never quite managing to secure the No. 2 quarterback job.
