Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule won’t have four quarterbacks from which to choose to close out the season, as the team released Matt Barkley.
The move leaves them with three quarterbacks—Cam Newton, Sam Darnold and P.J. Walker — on the active roster.
Barkley, 31, signed with the team on November 9, right after Darnold suffered a right shoulder fracture in the Week 9 loss to New England. However, he was active for just one of his six games with the team.
The 2013 fourth-round pick has completed 212 of 363 passes (58.4%) for 2,699 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 22 interceptions throughout his six seasons in the league.
