Baker Mayfield is back in action.
Mayfield took over for PJ Walker at quarterback for the Carolina Panthers after halftime on Sunday, with the team trailing 35-0 to the Cincinnati Bengals.Mayfield promptly threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Tommy Tremble and later threw a 21-yard touchdown to Terrace Marshall, but the Panthers trailed 42-14 in the middle of the fourth quarter.
Mayfield hadn’t played since a Week 5 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, in which he suffered a high-ankle sprain. He returned to practice prior to Week 7 but was benched in favor of Walker. Mayfield started the Panthers’ first five games before his injury, notching 962 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions, but the Panthers were 1-4 in those games. The Panthers acquired Mayfield from the Browns in a trade just before the start of training camp over the summer.
Mayfield’s 34 passing yards on his first drive on Sunday accounted for just under 50 percent of the Panthers’ total yards for the game at that point.Getty Images
