Should be healthy by training camp Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said Tuesday that Walker (knee - ACL) is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact After being selected by Tampa Bay in the fourth round of last April's NFL Draft, Walker missed all of his would-be rookie campaign due to a torn ACL. It sounds like he's progressed well in his recovery, though Licht's comments don't make it clear if Walker will participate in OTAs. Regardless, the Central Arkansas product is in line to make his NFL debut in 2026 and could serve in a key rotational role.

Lands on IR The Buccaneers placed Walker (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Walker will now miss the entirety of the upcoming campaign after having torn his ACL in practice last week. The rookie fourth-round pick will have to wait until the 2026 season to make his NFL debut, and in his absence, Warren Peeples and Jose Ramirez should see increased usage in practice.

Suffers torn ACL Walker was diagnosed with a torn ACL on Monday and will be sidelined for the 2025 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact The rookie fourth-rounder injured his knee during Friday's training camp practice, and further tests found a tear in his ACL. It's a brutal blow for Walker, who was expected to serve in a rotational role at outside linebacker, but he'll have to wait until 2026 to make his professional debut. Walker's absence opens the door for Warren Peeples and Jose Ramirez to compete for a spot on the Bucs' 53-man roster.
