Baker Mayfield To Miss Time With Ankle Sprain
2 years agoCarolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 5 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, according to sources. It means that he'll have to miss some time, but how much will be determined by more tests and opinions. With Sam Darnold (ankle) still not ready to return from Injured Reserve, P.J. Walker is in line to start in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams and their tough defense. Mayfield has a career-low 71.9 QB rating through his first four games in Carolina with 962 passing yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions on 153 attempts through five games. There's a chance the Panthers could go back to Darnold if he recovers from his ankle injury before Mayfield is able to return from his high-ankle sprain.
