What happened to Baker Mayfield? Is he playing?

The Carolina Panthers played the Baltimore Ravens in a Week 11 matchup, and prized offseason acquisition Baker Mayfield started for them. He recently suffered an ankle injury, but that's not the sole reason he didn't play.

He was healthy enough to avoid going on injured reserve, but in his brief health-related absence, he lost the starting job to backup PJ Walker.

While Mayfield and Sam Darnold both recovered from ankle injuries, Walker came in and breathed new life into the offense. They beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and nearly beat the Falcons, thanks to Walker's miraculous touchdown pass.

PJ Walker warms up for the Carolina Panthers' game against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10.

Regardless, Walker's future remains uncertain as Baker Mayfield returned for the Cleveland Browns' Week 11 Sunday clash against the Baltimore Ravens.
