The Carolina Panthers are operating as though QB Sam Darnold (shoulder) will not play again this year, according to multiple league sources. QB P.J. Walker will start Week 10’s game against the Arizona Cardinals but QB Cam Newton could eventually take over as the team’s starting quarterback for the remainder of this season and potentially keep the job for the 2022 season, once he gets into playing shape and has a better grasp of the offensive playbook.
