Browns will place LB Anthony Walker on injured reserve Walker will miss at least 3 weeks with his hamstring injury

SEPTEMBER 17, 2021 • USATODAY.COM

Could be out for weeks Walker has suffered a hamstring injury that could sideline him for a few weeks, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact Walker's a key piece of the Browns' defense, as evidenced by his nine-tackle performance in Week 1. If Walker's sidelined Sunday against Houston or beyond, Malcolm Smith should bump up into a starting role. Cleveland's expected to look outside the organization to bolster its middle-linebacker depth during Walker's absence, and the team already has a workout scheduled with free agent Reuben Foster, per Wilson.

Registers nine tackles Walker posted nine tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 33-29 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact After signing a one-year, $3.5 million contract in March, Walker won the starting middle linebacker job and led the Browns in tackles during the season opener. Walker compiled 321 tackles and 11 pass breakups over the last three seasons with the Colts. He figures to be a steady IDP contributor as long as he maintains the starting gig.

Browns DEs Garrett, Clowney still slowed by camp injuries

AUGUST 17, 2021 • Associated Press

Returns to practice Walker (knee) was back at practice Tuesday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Walker's return from a knee injury sustained Aug. 2 was the good news defensively, but the Browns had their share of bad news on that side of the ball. Myles Garrett was held out due to a hamstring injury and Denzel Ward missed a third straight practice with an undisclosed injury, though he did wear a long sleeve on his right leg. Walker, who participated in individual drills but not team sessions, is expected to start at middle linebacker and will wear the green dot on his helmet as the defensive signal-caller. During this absence Jacob Phillips filled in.

Browns LB Walker out with knee injury, Owusu-Koramoah back

Browns starting middle linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. may miss an extended period with a right knee injury sustained on a noncontact play in training camp

AUGUST 3, 2021 • Associated Press

Won't need surgery Coach Kevin Stefanski said Walker (knee) will be sidelined "a week plus" but won't require surgery, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.

Impact Walker could potentially return to practice by the end of training camp. It's good to see the soon-to-be 26-year-old has avoided a worst-case scenario, though it is unfortunate that he'll need to miss a significant amount of practice, at the very least. If Walker can't earn more than a rotational role in Cleveland's linebacker corps, it will be difficult for him to achieve fantasy relevancy.
