JANUARY 23, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Modest production in loss Walker notched four receptions (on 10 targets) for 70 yards during Saturday's 31-20 defeat versus Clemson.

Logs 41 receiving yards Walker (undisclosed) logged two receptions for 41 yards during North Carolina's 59-7 win Saturday against Campbell.

Impact Walker suffered a game-ending hit during North Carolina's previous game. Fortunately for him, he did not have to sit out any games, as UNC's latest proved Saturday. Perhaps because they played a non-FBS team then, Walker did not warm up with their starters. Even so, the position downgrade did not stop him from getting multiple opportunities and taking advantage of them to log decent yardage off receptions. Expectations are Walker gets his role maximized again when UNC's team hosts Duke on Nov. 11.

Not warming with starters Walker (undisclosed) isn't warming up with the first-team offense ahead of Saturday's game versus Campbell, Inside Carolina reports.

Impact Walker is expected to play in the contest and is in full uniform, but it appears there could be some limitations for the junior, especially with and FCS school on the schedule. JJ Jones and Gavin Blackwell are working with the starting unit ahead of Saturday's contest, with Walker not doing so.

Impact Walker was monitored during practice this week after leaving last week's contest with an injury that required a brief hospitalization. Fortunately, it appears it won't cost him additional time. Walker enters the week with 26 grabs for 397 yards and four touchdowns on 37 targets in his four games since receiving clearance to play from the NCAA.

Will be monitored Walker (undisclosed) will be monitored this week, Michael Koh of WCHL & Chapelboro reports.

Impact As expected, Walker's health status will be monitored following his hospitalization Saturday and subsequent release from the hospital Sunday. For now, his availability status is questionable as the Tar Heels prepare to begin their November schedule by hosting non-FBS team Campbell.

Released from hospital Walker (undisclosed) was released from the hospital after he was taken for evaluation following a big hit late in a loss to Georgia Tech, Taylor Tannebaum of the ACC Network report...

Impact It's an encouraging update after Walker suffered what looked to be a significant injury. After missing the first four games of the season, the junior wideout's tallied 26 grabs for 397 yards and four scores in his last four contests. Nate McCollum would likely step up as UNC's top receiving option if Walker can't suit up next week vs. Campbell.

Injured late in Saturday's game Walker (undisclosed) was injured late in Saturday's game versus Georgia Tech, according to the ACC Network broadcast.

Impact Walker took a hard hit to his side late in the fourth quarter Saturday and spent multiple minutes on the ground surrounded by trainers before being helped off the field by two trainers. Given the lack of time remaining in the game it is unlikely he will return Saturday. The nature of his injury is currently unknown.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Stellar effort in loss Walker hauled in 11 of 16 targets for 146 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-27 loss versus Virginia.

Impact Walker has back-to-back games demonstrating a strong chemistry with quarterback Drake Maye, as he led the team in all receiving categories. The junior wide receiver has totaled 321 yards and four touchdowns across the last three games. He will look to extend his hot streak in Saturday's matchup against Georgia Tech.
