Still not practicing Walker (knee) did not practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Walker didn't practice at all last week and ended up missing Sunday's victory over Cleveland. He'll likely need to return to practice in some capacity before the end of Friday in order to have a chance of suiting up in this Sunday's matchup versus the Jets. With Walker out of action last weekend, Tyrel Dodson got the start at inside linebacker and put up a huge performance, racking up 15 tackles and an interception en route to winning the AFC Defensive Player of the Week award.

Out for Week 17 Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Walker played 97 percent of the defensive snaps last week against the 49ers, so it's unclear when he was injured, but Walker is going to miss Week 17. Tyrel Dodson and Jordyn Brooks (quadriceps) started at linebacker against the Packers in Week 13 when Walker was last inactive due to injury.

Tallies first sack of season Walker racked up seven tackles (four solo) including 1.0 sacks during Miami's 20-12 loss to Houston in Week 15.

Impact Walker played 98 percent of defensive snaps versus the Texans, continuing to handle the very-down role he inherited Week 9. Aside from Week 12, when he was forced off the field early with a hamstring injury, Walker has notched at least seven tackles in each of his opportunities as a starter this year. He figures to be heavily involved again on Sunday, versus a 49ers backfield led by Isaac Guerendo.
