2025 Fantasy Outlook
Walker is a new arrival in Tampa Bay, having signed a one-year deal this offseason after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Colts, Browns and Dolphins. He enjoyed a resurgent season of sorts in Miami last year, posting 68 tackles, including 1.0 sack, and two pass defenses, including one interception, over 14 regular-season games. He projects to start at left inside linebacker in Todd Bowles' 3-4 scheme heading into training camp. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Buccaneers in March of 2025.
Sidelined with knee injury
Walker has not participated in training camp practices due to a knee injury, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker opened camp on the NFI list, and the injury is severe enough for him to be considered week-to-week. That puts him in jeopardy of missing the Bucs' preseason games, starting with their opener against the Titans on Aug. 9. SirVocea Dennis and Deion Jones will have the opportunity to compete for starting snaps at inside linebacker beside Lavonte David while Walker is recovering from his injury.

Walker, who suffered a quadriceps injury that limited him to three games in 2022, returns to lead the Browns' defense as its signal caller. Prior to the injury, he'd been a durable presence in the middle of defenses, either with the Colts or Browns. Cleveland added nothing to its linebacking crew via free agency or the draft, opting to stick with a group that had four members finish 2022 on injured reserve. If healthy, Walker should hit triple-digit tackles.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Making progress in recovery
All indications are that Walker's progress in his recovery from a quadriceps tear is going well, though the Browns have yet to provide a detailed update on the matter, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The same is true for fellow linebacker Sione Takitaki, who is recovering from a torn ACL. Walker suffered a season-ending quadriceps tear in Week 3 of the 2022 season. He subsequently re-signed with the Browns on a one-year contract in March, which is an indication that the team was pleased with the progress of Walker's recovery at the time.
