Austin Walter - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Three touches against Philly Walter rushed once for two yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 33-18 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Elevated from the practice squad for a second consecutive week, Walter saw limited work while Tevin Coleman dominated touches in the Jets' backfield with Michael Carter (ankle) on the shelf. In addition to his three touches, Walter also pitched the ball back to Zach Wilson on a flea flicker that turned into a 14-yard pass to Ryan Griffin. After elevating Walter twice, the Jets will have to sign him to the active roster if they want to use him again in game action this season.

Makes most of opportunity with TD Walter rushed nine times for 38 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch his only target in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Texans.

Impact Walter was elevated from the practice squad with Michael Carter (ankle) on IR, and he worked as part of a three-headed backfield committee with Tevin Coleman (16 carries for 67 yards) and Ty Johnson (six carries for 42 yards). Given an opportunity from the two-yard line late in the first half, Waller made the most of it by powering into the end zone. He'll likely be elevated again in Week 13 against the Eagles
