Signs with Raiders Las Vegas signed Walter on Friday.

Impact Walter gets another chance to make an impression on an NFL team after the Jets waived him back in May. He'll be hard-pressed to make the 53-man roster in a Raiders running back room that already features Josh Jacobs, Kenyan Drake, Brandon Bolden and 2022 fourth-round pick Zamir White.

Gets 28 touches in 2021 Walter rushed 26 times for 101 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for nine yards over four appearances in 2021.

Impact Walter spent most of the season on the Jets' practice squad but was signed to the 53-man roster down the stretch after the team battled some injuries in the backfield. The 25-year-old Rice product has another year left on his contract with the Jets, but Walter will be fighting an uphill battle to make the roster in camp.

Inactive in Week 18 Walter is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Impact As is La'Mical Perine, which sets the stage for Michael Carter, Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson to handle the Jets' backfield duties in Week 18.

Gets 14 carries in Week 17 Walter rushed 14 times for 49 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 28-24 loss to Tampa Bay.

Impact Walter led the team in carries after Michael Carter (concussion) exited early, but Ty Johnson got the nod at the goal line in the third quarter and delivered a one-yard touchdown. If neither Carter nor Tevin Coleman (illness) plays in Week 18 against the Bills, Walter should retain a prominent role on the ground, though finding running room won't be easy against a stout Buffalo front.

Healthy scratch Sunday Walter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Walter had two carries for 12 yards last week against Miami as the No. 3 tailback, but he's a healthy scratch for Week 16. Ty Johnson will take on that role Sunday with Michael Carter and Tevin Coleman set to lead the backfield once again.

DECEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Two carries in Week 15 Walter rushed twice for 12 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Walter barely saw the field as Michael Carter (ankle) and Tevin Coleman split work in the Jets' backfield. As long as New York's top two running backs stay healthy, there won't be much work to go around for Walter, but each of the top two options has dealt with injuries this season; Carter just came off IR this week and Coleman missed last week's game due to a concussion.

Not on injury report Walter (illness) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Walter was active for last week's win over the Saints but didn't take the field due to an illness. However, it appears as though he'll be available Sunday against Miami. While the 25-year-old was expected to take on a key role against New Orleans, he's unlikely to see much playing time against the Dolphins since Tevin Coleman (concussion) and Michael Carter (ankle) are both expected to return to the field this week.

Out for remainder of contest Walter is dealing with an illness and has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Saints, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact That explains why Walter, though listed as active, had not played a snap in a contest he seemed poised to play a key role in. With Tevin Coleman (concussion) already out, next up for the Jets' Week 14 backfield work is the duo of La'Mical Perine and Ty Johnson.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Should play more with Coleman out Walter is expected to play a significant role Sunday against the Saints, as Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports that Tevin Coleman (concussion) won't play.

Impact Walter and Ty Johnson are New York's top two healthy running backs, with La'Mical Perine also on hand. Though Walter probably is the team's preferred option on the ground out of the three, finding running room won't be easy against a stout Saints front that's allowing just 96.4 rushing yards per game.

Signed to 53-man roster New York signed Walter off its practice squad Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact After top back Michael Carter (ankle) landed on injured reserve, Walter was elevated from the practice squad ahead of both of the Jets' last two games to bolster the team's depth at the position. Though Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson have worked ahead of him in both contests, Walter was active ahead of La'Mical Perine as the No. 3 back in Weeks 12 and 13 and combined for 10 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown and two receptions for nine yards. He'll now have a permanent home on the 53-man roster, filling the spot that belonged to Corey Davis (groin) before he was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Back to Jets' practice squad Walter was reverted to the practice squad Monday.

Impact The running back had one carry for two yards and two catches for nine yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles after being elevated from the practice squad for the game. Walter will now head back down prior to the team's Week 14 matchup with the Saints.
