Quay Walker - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Double-digit stops in Week 9 Walker recorded 12 total tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.

Impact The 2022 first-round pick from Georgia played well in his first game back from a concussion, leading the Packers' defense total tackles. Despite missing Week 8's win over the Jaguars, Walker still ranks first on Green Bay's defense in total tackles with 64 across eight appearances this season. He's expected to remain a viable IDP option after the Packers' Week 10 bye.

Past concussion Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Walker has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Walker missed the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars after sustaining a concussion the week prior, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The 2022 first-round pick from Georgia has tallied 52 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, through seven appearances this season.

Impact Walker was able to log consecutive limited practices to end the week, but the 2022 first-round pick hasn't progressed through the league's concussion protocols enough to be cleared for Sunday's contest.

Questionable for Sunday Walker (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Walker logged over 100 tackles during both of his first two seasons in Green Bay, making him the team's most proven off-ball linebacker following the release of De'Vondre Campbell, who has since joined San Francisco. The Packers are shifting to a new 4-3 defensive scheme under first-year defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, and the team added Edgerrin Cooper in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft while bringing back veteran Isaiah McDuffie. As such, Walker will still likely have to prove that he's capable of handling a bigger role as Hafley begins to implement his defense this offseason.
