Baker Mayfield (ankle) to be inactive again Week 7 for Panthers
Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) will be inactive on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7, per head coach Steve Wilks.
What It Means:
Mayfield and Sam Darnold (ankle) will both be inactive while P.J. Walker makes another start and Jacob Eason handles backup duty. The Panthers haven't indicated who will start once Mayfield and Darnold are available, but this entire offense should be avoided if possible after they traded away Christian McCaffrey.
The Buccaneers have the No. 6 pass defense and No. 2 overall defense in numberFire's schedule-adjusted team metrics. Walker has a $6,200 salary on the Main slate and he is the QB27 in our Week 7 rankings.
