Quay Walker eyed as key piece in Packers' new defense Scheme/coaching change could unlock more of linebacker’s playmaking ability

FEBRUARY 28 • PACKERS.COM

Finishes with 118 stops Walker stacked up 118 tackles (59 solo), 2.5 sacks, an interception, three pass deflections and a touchdown over 14 games in the 2023 season.

Impact Walker just missed matching the 121 stops he made during his rookie season, and he undoubtedly would have surpassed that number had he not missed three games. Walker has developed into an every-down linebacker, and he should find himself in the same role in 2024.

Limited to open week Walker (shoulder) was considered a limited participant at the Packers' walkthrough.

Impact Walker popped up on the injury report Wednesday with a shoulder issue after he recorded five tackles, including a half-sack, in the Packers' win over the Panthers in Week 16. Considering he was estimated as limited, it seems to suggest that the linebacker is dealing with a minor injury, but nonetheless, his status at the team's final two practices of the week is worth monitoring.

Picks up half-sack Walker notched five tackles one solo and 0.5 sacks during Sunday's 33-30 win over the Panthers.

Impact Walker got into the sack column for the first time this season Sunday, after having tallied 1.5 as a rookie in 2022. Through 12 games this year Walker has racked up 103 tackles (51 solo), 0.5 sacks, three passes defensed and one interception, which he returned for a touchdown. Walker resumed playing 100 percent of defensive snaps Sunday, indicating he's fully recovered from his shoulder injury as Green Bay's matchup against the Vikings in Week 17 approaches.

Good to go Week 15 Walker (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Walker missed last week's loss to the Giants due to a shoulder injury, but he was able to log a pair of limited practice sessions during Week 15 prep and will be able to suit up Sunday. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues should feel free to roll with Walker, who has notched double-digit stops in four of his 10 games this season.

Won't play against New York Walker (shoulder) is inactive for Monday's game against the Giants, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Walker will miss his third straight game after he was unable to participate in practice leading up to Monday's game. Isaiah McDuffie and Eric Wilson are listed as the backup inside linebackers, though neither of them played a defensive snap in Week 13 against the Chiefs. Outside linebackers Kingsley Enagbare and Lukas Van Ness could instead be the likely candidates for increased work alongside starter De'Vondre Campbell for Monday's game.

Sits out practice Walker (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Impact Walker played 100 percent of the team's snaps in its Week 13 win over the Chiefs, so it's not clear when the second-year pro picked up the injury. With the Packers not playing until Monday against the Giants, Walker will have an extra day to get back on the practice field and prep for the Week 14 matchup.

Could return Week 11 Walker (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact The 2022 first-round pick was able to log a week of limited practices after missing each of Green Bay's last two games with a groin issue. If Walker were to play this weekend, it would be a big addition to a defense that gave up 205 rushing yards in Week 10, as the second-year linebacker is averaging almost 10 total tackles per game thus far. Isaiah McDuffie would be in line for an increased workload if Walker misses his third consecutive game.

Impact Walker left the Packers' Week 5 loss to the Raiders due to a knee injury and was still limited at practice following the team's Week 6 bye. However, the second-year linebacker will get the green light for Week 7 and look to build off his fast start to the season.

Impact Walker suffered a knee injury during Green Bay's Week 5 loss to Las Vegas, and even after the team's bye, he's still been limited in practice. The 2022 first-round pick has had a great start to his second-year, recording 51 total tackles, three tackles for loss and one interception through five appearances. If Walker is unable to suit up this Sunday, Eric Wilson and Isaiah McDuffie are expected to see an increase in work for the Packers' defense.
