CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers interim coach Steve Wilks doesn't plan to simply give Baker Mayfield the starting quarterback job when he recovers from a left ankle sprain that kept him from playing in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
"I can't give you that answer,'' Wilks said Monday when asked if Mayfield would be his starter when healthy. "But I can tell you right now those guys [in the quarterback room] are going to compete at that position just as well as other positions do to see who exactly goes out there on Sunday.
