INDIANAPOLIS — P.J. Walker, the Bears’ second-string quarterback, stumbled through his starter showing in Saturday night’s exhibition pillow fight against the Colts. On the first snap, he faked a handoff, rolled right and slipped on the Lucas Oil Stadium turf. He steadied himself and threw incomplete behind backup fullback Robert Burns.

The rest of his performance was just as bad. Walker went 1-for-4 for six yards and a 39.6 passer rating, though he was betrayed by a first-quarter drop by Equanimeous St. Brown. He was sacked twice.
