Baker Mayfield is expected to miss 2-6 weeks after suffering a high ankle sprain, according to a source.

Tests on the ankle revealed no other structural damage.

Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers fired Matt Rhule on Monday. Steve Wilks has taken over as interim coach. David Tepper said Wilks, 57, would be considered for the full-time job in 2023 if he "does an incredible job."

P.J. Walker is the only healthy quarterback on the Panthers' roster. Sam Darnold remains on injured reserve with an ankle injury suffered in August and is weeks away from being available.

The team will likely call up Jacob Eason from the practice squad in addition to adding another quarterback.
