Walker will start Sunday's preseason contest at Indianapolis, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
With coach Matt Rhule sitting Sam Darnold and many of the starters, Walker will lead the offense in the Panthers' exhibition opener. In four appearances, including one start in relief of Teddy Bridgewater, last season, Walker completed 32 of 56 passes (57 percent) for 368 yards, one touchdown and five interceptions. Meanwhile, 2019 third-rounder Will Grier didn't see the field at all in 2020. As this preseason wears on, any in-game reps that Darnold doesn't get will trickle down to Walker and Grier, whose respective performances will determine if the team keeps two or three QBs this fall.
