Browns Name QB P.J. Walker As Primary Backup For Week 6

Browns HC Kevin Stefanski named QB P.J. Walker their primary backup for Week 6 ahead of Dorian Thompson-Robinson, per Jake Trotter. 

Stefanski added Walker will start Sunday’s game if Deshaun Watson is unable to play, via Brad Stainbrook. 

Walker would become the third different quarterback to play for Cleveland so far this season after Thompson-Robinson got the start in Week 5. 

Walker, 28, originally signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent out of Temple in 2017. He spent two years on Indianapolis’ practice squad before being waived prior to the 2019 season.

Walker played for the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL in the spring of 2020. Carolina then signed him to a two-year deal following the XFL’s dissolution. Walker joined the Bears this past March but was cut loose this week. 

In 2022, Walker appeared in six games for the Panthers and completed 59.4 percent of his passes for 731 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.
