News

  • Partial participant at OTAs

    Walker (Achilles) was a partial participant during OTAs and expects full clearance for training camp, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Walker led the Lions with 108 tackles in 2021 but played in just three games last year before tearing his Achilles. Detroit's medical staff is being cautious with the 2018 third-round pick, but he sounds confident with how his rehab is going. If he's available to start 2023, Walker figures to start alongside C.J. Gardner-Johnson, though recent draft picks Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch could factor into the mix as well.

  • Moving well in personal workouts

    Walker (Achilles) recently posted videos on social media of himself aggressively going through an agility drill, Woodward Sports Network reports.

    Analysis: Walker missed most of last season after injuring his Achilles in Week 3. While he appears on track for the start of OTAs on May 23, it is unclear how slowly the Lions coaching staff may bring him along. When healthy, Walker is expected to team with C.J. Gardner-Johnson to lead a safety group that also includes a pair of high draft picks from the past two years in Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch.

  • Eyeing return for OTAs

    Walker (Achilles) recently suggested via his personal Twitter account that he will be ready for the Lions' offseason training program this spring.

    Analysis: After tearing his Achilles in late September, it would be an impressive feat for Walker to make it back for the start of offseason workouts. Even if the Lions' coaching staff has different plans for its standout safety, it at least seems that Walker could be available well before the start of the 2023 season opener.

  • Shifts to injured reserve

    The Lions placed Walker (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: As expected, Walker lands on IR after tearing his Achilles during the team's Week 3 loss to the Vikings. He's expected to miss the remainder of the season, making Kerby Joseph a likely candidate for an increased role moving forward.

  • Suffers torn Achilles

    Walker is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Walker went down in the first quarter of the contest with a lower leg injury, failing to return to the game. It has now been determined to have been a torn Achilles, bringing his season to an end after three games. Kerby Joseph appears to be the most likely candidate to take over the starting role at strong safety moving forward.

  • Potentially managing Achilles issue

    Walker sustained a potential Achilles injury during the Lions' 28-24 loss to the Vikings on Sunday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Walker was banged up in the first quarter of Sunday's matchup and was unable to return. The safety will be examined further to determine the extent of the issue, but coach Dan Campbell said after the game that the injury "doesn't look real good." If the 2018 third-rounder is forced to miss additional time, Ifeatu Melifonwu and Kerby Joseph are candidates to handle increased roles.

  • Exits Sunday's game

    Walker (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings with an apparent ankle injury.

    Analysis: Walker was assisted to the locker room after going down with the injury in the first half. If he's unable to return, Kerby Joseph and JuJu Hughes are candidates to take on an expanded role at safety for Detroit.

  • Posts 13 tackles before ejection

    Walker recorded 13 tackles with one sack during Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Walker has now recorded double-digit tackles in four of his past five games dating back to last season. His production could have been even greater Sunday had he not been ejected for hitting Jalen Hurts after the whistle with three minutes left in the third quarter. However, Walker will be right back on the fantasy radar in Week 2 against Washington.

  • Remains in Detroit

    Walker agreed to a three-year, $25 million contract with the Lions on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Walker totaled 108 tackles, six pass deflections, one sack and one interception across 15 appearances last season. He finished the campaign with a bang, notching a career-high 14 tackles and an interception during a Week 18 win over the Packers. He'll stick with the franchise that drafted him in the third round of the 2018 Draft.

  • Strong production in 2021

    Walker recorded 108 tackles, one sack, six pass breakups and one interception over 15 games in 2021.

    Analysis: Walker finished the season with a bang in Week 18 against Green Bay, netting a career-high 14 tackles plus an interception en route to NFL Defensive Player of the Week honors. More importantly, he put a bow on a season that showed the Lions' new regime that Walker's "down" 2020 season was at least partly a product of the deficiencies of ex-head coach Matt Patricia. In fact, general manager Brad Holmes praised Walker's 2021 campaign during Tuesday's end-of-season press conference and went on to…read more

  • Not on injury report

    Walker (illness) wasn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's practice session.

    Analysis: Walker missed the last two games after he tested positive for COVID-19, but it appears as though he'll be back in action for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta. He should serve as the Lions' starting free safety in Week 16.

  • Won't play Sunday

    The Lions downgraded Walker (illness) from questionable to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Detroit brought Walker back from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, but the Lions evidently had some reservations about his availability, given that he took a questionable tag into the weekend. Walker remains on the active roster and still appears to be asymptomatic of the virus, but Detroit may want to give him some more recovery time after he sat out last week's loss to the Broncos and didn't practice in any capacity Week 15. While Walker is out for another game, look for Will Harris and…read more

  • Questionable Sunday

    Walker (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Walker was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday but will still carry a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's matchup. If he's able to play, he'll presumably serve as the starting free safety.

  • Off COVID list

    Walker was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

    Analysis: Walker was forced to miss Week 14 due to the issue. He'll be back at his starting free safety spot against the Cardinals on Sunday.

  • Likely out Sunday

    Walker was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

    Analysis: It's unclear whether Walker tested positive or was a close contact, though it's all but certain he will be sidelined Sunday against Denver. Walker has been a big part of Detroit's defensive and special-teams units, and he's racked up 78 total tackles across 12 games on the season.

  • Double-digit tackes in win

    Walker had 11 tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 29-27 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Walker cracked double-digit tackles for the first time this year, bringing his season total to 78 stops through 12 games. The safety has been a consistent producer throughout the 2021 campaign and remains a solid option in most IDP formats.

  • Ready to go Sunday

    Walker (concussion) will play Sunday against the Browns.

    Analysis: Walker left early in Week 10 with a concussion, but he cleared protocols in time to practice in full on Friday. Walker should resume his role as the starting free safety.

  • Questionable Sunday

    Walker (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Walker was a full participant at Friday's practice, but he'll still carry a questionable designation into Sunday's matchup. If he's unable to play, C.J. Moore should serve as the starting free safety.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Walker (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Prior to Walker's departure, he racked up seven solo tackles. If he enters the league's concussion protocols, he'll have several steps to clear if he hopes to play next week against Cleveland.

  • Evaluated for possible concussion

    Walker is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: It's unclear when Walker suffered the injury, but now he needs to be cleared by an independent doctor before he can return to the game. If he's unable to do so, then C.J. Moore would be in line to experience an uptick in his playing time.

  • Heavily involved again

    Walker recorded eight tackles and one pass defended in Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Walker was very involved in both the special teams and defensive units, racking up 69 total snaps -- his second-highest mark of the season. He's now broken up a pass in four of his last five games and has recorded 21 tackles combined across his last three contests.

  • Season-high nine tackles Sunday

    Walker totaled nine tackles (seven solo) and one pass deflection during Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Walker shifted back to free safety this season, but his production hasn't increased. Unless he can build off his Week 5 performance, the 26-year-old safety remains an unreliable IDP option.

  • Returning to free safety

    Walker is back to playing more of a free safety role this offseason, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: While organizing a Detroit defense that ultimately finished last season with franchise-worst marks in total yards (6,716) and points (519) allowed, the Lions' old coaching staff had moved Walker from the free safety role he excelled in during 2019 to more of a strong safety role in 2020. The result was 16 fewer tackles for Walker despite playing in two more games, a drop from his 2019 performance when he averaged nearly eight tackles per contest. Since it seems like the Lions' new regime is…read more

  • Foot injury hinders 2020 production

    Walker totaled 87 tackles, one sack and four pass breakups over 15 games in 2020.

    Analysis: After racking up 103 tackles on just 851 defensive snaps in 2019, it's no surprise that Walker came down to earth in 2020. However, it should be noted that Walker actually played less snaps (755) in more games this time around, as a foot injury cost the 25-year-old one game but also prevented him from logging more than half of the defensive snaps in any contest rom Week 10 to Week 15. In games he was completely healthy, Walker averaged 9.1 tackles. Now heading into the offseason with one year…read more

  • Returns to team

    Walker (personal) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Walker missed Friday's practice to witness the birth of his son but he's returned to the team in time to suit up. Now that Walker is officially suiting up Sunday, expect him to handle his usual starting role at free safety.

  • Questionable after missed practice

    Walker (personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Chicago.

    Analysis: According to Kyle Meinke of MLive.com, the Lions gave Walker a designation after he was absent from practice Friday to witness the birth of his son. If Walker doesn't rejoin his teammates in time to take the field Sunday, Will Harris would be set for an expanded role in the depleted Detroit secondary.

  • Ready to rock

    Walker (foot) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Walker practiced in limited fashion with the foot injury Wednesday, as he appears to be on track for Week 10 against Washington. Now healthy, expect the Louisiana-Lafayette product to assume his usual starting role at free safety in Sundays game.

  • Missing more time

    Walker (foot) was listed as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Walker was forced to miss last week's loss to the Vikings after failing to practice with the foot issue, so it's at least a positive sign he was able to practice. If Walker were forced to miss Sunday's game against Washington, Will Harris would be in line for another start at free safety, with Miles Killebrew slotting behind him.

  • Won't play against Vikings

    Walker (foot) won't play Sunday against the Vikings, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Walker was unable to practice all week, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. Will Harris is Walker's direct backup at free safety, but the Lions could also opt to fill the snaps vacated by Walker's absence with alternative reserve safety Jayron Kearse.

  • Battling foot injury

    Walker (foot) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: The team hasn't revealed the nature or severity of Walker's foot injury, but he's in danger of missing Sunday's game versus the Vikings unless he can get back onto the practice field by Friday. Walker has already stacked up 51 tackles and four pass breakups through seven games, so it'd be a key loss to the Lions' defense if he can't go. Jayron Kearse is the next man up at free safety if Walker misses out.

  • Team's leading tackler in defeat

    Walker collected 11 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: When the safety leads the team in tackles it's often a discouraging sign for the defense, and that was again the case Sunday as Indianapolis racked up 262 yards through the air and 119 yards on the ground along with five total touchdowns. Despite the off day from Detroit's defense, Walker's coverage numbers have been respectable to this point in the season, as he's held opponents to a 52 percent completion rate with 4.8 yards per target.

  • Leads team in tackles Sunday

    Walker recorded 12 tackles (10 solo) across 65 defensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Walker continues to be a tackling machine this season, as he now has 23 tackles on the year. After playing in limited snaps in Week 2, Walker was back on track Sunday as he did not miss a single defensive snap alongside fellow safety Duron Harmon. The young safety will now shift his focus to Sunday's matchup with the Saints.

  • Nine tackles in season opener

    Walker recorded nine tackles and one pass breakup during Sunday's 27-23 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: After logging at least 99 percent of the defensive snaps in over half of his games in 2019, both Walker and Will Harris saw a tad under 90 percent in the season opener while Duron Harmon didn't come off the field. Walker finished tops in the stat sheet, though, as Harmon and Harris each had five tackles apiece. If Detroit remains without its top three corners in Week 2, the Lions defense could struggle to get off the field, which could lead to plenty of playing time for each of Walker, Harmon…read more
