Returns to practice Walker (ankle) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.

Impact Walker had yet to practice since suffering the injury in Week 15, so his return to the field in any capacity is a big step in the right direction. Head coach Matt LaFleur stated Monday that he was optimistic Walker could suit up Sunday against the Eagles, and he may now be on track to do so. His practice status in the days ahead will still be worth monitoring though.

May return for playoffs Head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he's optimistic Walker (ankle) will be able to play against the Eagles on Sunday, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Walker missed the Packers' final three regular-season games and has yet to practice since suffering the injury in Week 15. The return of the Georgia product would certainly be a boost to the Packers' linebacker corps against Philadephia in the wild-card round.

Out for Week 18 Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact Walker was injured in Week 15 and has been sidelined ever since. He's yet to even practice since the injury. Walker wraps up the regular season with 102 tackles (72 solo), including nine TFLs and 2.5 sacks, and two pass breakups. Eric Wilson (100 percent of the defensive snaps) and Edgerrin Cooper (99 percent) played every-down linebacker roles for the Packers last Sunday against the Vikings.

DNP on Thursday Walker (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Walker has been unable to practice or play since suffering an ankle injury during the Packers' Week 15 against the Seahawks. The 2022 first-round pick won't likely play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bears unless he practices in at least a limited capacity Friday. Isaiah McDuffie and Eric Wilson will continue to see increased snaps with the first-team defense for as long as Walker is sidelined.

JANUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Missing another week Walker (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact The 2022 first-round pick from Georgia has yet to practice since sustaining an ankle injury in the Packers' Week 15 win over the Seahawks, making it no surprise that he won't return for the Week 17 divisional matchup. Walker's next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 18, when the Packers host the Bears. Expect Isaiah McDuffie and Eric Wilson to see additional snaps with Green Bay's first-team defense while Walker is sidelined Sunday.

Listed as DNP Wednesday Walker (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Green Bay's practice estimate Wednesday.

Impact Walker is still dealing with the ankle injury that held him out of the team's Week 16 win over the Saints. He will likely have to return to practice in some capacity at some point this week in order to have a chance to play in Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

DECEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Week 16 Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Saints.

Impact Walker exited with an ankle injury during last Sunday's win against the Seahawks, and he logged three straight DNPs during Week 16 prep. Over 13 appearances this season, the third-year linebacker has already logged over 100 tackles, marking his third straight season doing so. With Walker sidelined, veteran Eric Wilson will likely step up as Green Bay's defensive play caller alongside fellow off-ball linebackers Edgerrin Cooper and Isaiah McDuffie.

Won't play Week 16 Walker (ankle) was ruled out for Monday's game against the Saints.

DECEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Misses another practice Walker (ankle) didn't practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact It appears increasingly likely that Walker will be held out of the Packers' Week 16 matchup against the Saints on Monday night, as he's now logged back-to-back DNPs after sustaining an ankle injury in the Week 15 win over the Seahawks. If Walker is sidelined Monday night, expect Isaiah McDuffie to start alongside Edgerrin Cooper in Green Bay's linebacker corps.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unable to practice Thursday Walker (ankle) is not practicing Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Packers have left the door open for Walker to suit up Monday against the Saints, but he may be fighting an uphill battle after coach Matt LaFleur referred to his injury as "more of a week-to-week type deal." Walker will have two more chances to practice heading into Week 16 action.

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not ruled out for Week 16 Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Tuesday that Walker (ankle) has a chance to be available for Monday's game against the Saints but called the situation "more of a week-to-week...

Impact LaFleur said Green Bay "will give [Walker] through the week and see where he's at," but it sounds like the ankle injury sustained by the 2022 first-round pick in the first half of Sunday's win over Seattle could keep him sidelined Week 16. In the event that Walker is unavailable versus New Orleans on Monday, Eric Wilson and rookie fourth-round pick Ty'Ron Hopper could see increased defensive opportunities in the Packers' linebacker corps.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Done for rest of SNF Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest versus the Seahawks, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Walker suffered the ankle injury late in the first half and he will now officially be forced to sit out the rest of the game. The linebacker compiled three tackles before exiting the game and in his absence, Ty'Ron Hopper stands to see an increase in workload on Green Bay's defense.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 10 tackles again Walker tallied 10 tackles (six solo) during the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions in Week 13.

Impact Walker logged the same amount of combined and solo tackles this past Thursday as he did against the Dolphins in Week 13, except he wasn't able to register a sack on Jared Goff. The third-year linebacker is up to 99 combined tackles through 12 games, and with four games left to go in the regular season, Walker is on track to eclipse his career-best mark (121) set in 2022, his rookie year.

Records 10 stops in Week 13 win Walker posted 10 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday's Thanksgiving Day victory against the Dolphins.

Impact Walker tied for the team lead in stops Thursday, with two of his tackles going for a Miami loss of yardage. One of those was a fourth-down sack of Tua Tagovailoa early in the fourth period that ended a Miami drive that had reached the Packers' one-yard line. Walker has 89 tackles (including 2.5 sacks) on the season, putting him 11 stops away from reaching 100 for the third straight season.

Jeff Hafley thinks Quay Walker played his best game against 49ers Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley spoke to the media ahead of the team's Thanksgiving matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

NOVEMBER 26, 2024 • PACKERS.COM

Leading tackler in win Walker recorded seven total tackles (six solo), including two tackles for loss, and defended one pass in Sunday's 38-10 win over the 49ers.

Impact Walker's performance could have been even better, as he dropped what appeared to be an easy interception in the second quarter of Sunday's blowout win. Regardless, the 2022 first-round pick from Georgia tied rookie Javon Bullard as the Packers' leading tackler in Week 12 and has now accumulated 79 total tackles through 10 appearances this season. Expect Walker to remain one of the Packers' top inside linebackers as the season progresses.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Double-digit stops in Week 9 Walker recorded 12 total tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.

Impact The 2022 first-round pick from Georgia played well in his first game back from a concussion, leading the Packers' defense total tackles. Despite missing Week 8's win over the Jaguars, Walker still ranks first on Green Bay's defense in total tackles with 64 across eight appearances this season. He's expected to remain a viable IDP option after the Packers' Week 10 bye.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Past concussion Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Wednesday that Walker has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Walker missed the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars after sustaining a concussion the week prior, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The 2022 first-round pick from Georgia has tallied 52 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, through seven appearances this season. He's expected to start alongside Edgerrin Cooper as one of Green Bay's top inside linebackers in Week 9, when the Packers host the Lions.

Won't play vs. Jacksonville Walker (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Walker was able to log consecutive limited practices to end the week, but the 2022 first-round pick hasn't progressed through the league's concussion protocols enough to be cleared for Sunday's contest. Eric Wilson should see increased work with the Packers' first-team defense with Walker sidelined.

OCTOBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Walker (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Walker was able to practice in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday; however, he must pass through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday. If Walker is unable to do so, expect Eric Wilson to see increased work with the Packers' first-team defense.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Able to practice Thursday Walker (concussion) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice.

Impact Walker was able to upgrade from a DNP on Wednesday to a limited participant Thursday, but he still has more work to do as he progresses through the league's five-step concussion protocols. Even if he were to practice in full Friday, that doesn't guarantee that he'll be able to suit up against the Jaguars on Sunday.
