Heavily involved again Walker recorded eight tackles and one pass defended in Sunday's 28-19 loss to the Rams.

Season-high nine tackles Sunday Walker totaled nine tackles (seven solo) and one pass deflection during Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

Impact Walker shifted back to free safety this season, but his production hasn't increased. Unless he can build off his Week 5 performance, the 26-year-old safety remains an unreliable IDP option.

Why Detroit Lions' Dan Campbell fined Tracy Walker for not getting an interception Tracy Walker is ticketed for a starting safety role this fall for the Detroit Lions, alongside either Will Harris or Dean Marlowe.

Returning to free safety Walker is back to playing more of a free safety role this offseason, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact While organizing a Detroit defense that ultimately finished last season with franchise-worst marks in total yards (6,716) and points (519) allowed, the Lions' old coaching staff had moved Walker from the free safety role he excelled in during 2019 to more of a strong safety role in 2020. The result was 16 fewer tackles for Walker despite playing in two more games, a drop from his 2019 performance when he averaged nearly eight tackles per contest. Since it seems like the Lions' new regime is returning Walker to his natural role at free safety, the 26-year-old is back in the mix as an interesting IDP option ahead of the 2021 campaign.

Foot injury hinders 2020 production Walker totaled 87 tackles, one sack and four pass breakups over 15 games in 2020.

Impact After racking up 103 tackles on just 851 defensive snaps in 2019, it's no surprise that Walker came down to earth in 2020. However, it should be noted that Walker actually played less snaps (755) in more games this time around, as a foot injury cost the 25-year-old one game but also prevented him from logging more than half of the defensive snaps in any contest rom Week 10 to Week 15. In games he was completely healthy, Walker averaged 9.1 tackles. Now heading into the offseason with one year left on his contract, Walker is again poised to approach DB1 production in 2021, though he may need to impress both a new general manager and defensive coordinator in order to earn a contract extension this offseason.

Returns to team Walker (personal) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact Walker missed Friday's practice to witness the birth of his son but he's returned to the team in time to suit up. Now that Walker is officially suiting up Sunday, expect him to handle his usual starting role at free safety.

Questionable after missed practice Walker (personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Chicago.

Impact According to Kyle Meinke of MLive.com, the Lions gave Walker a designation after he was absent from practice Friday to witness the birth of his son. If Walker doesn't rejoin his teammates in time to take the field Sunday, Will Harris would be set for an expanded role in the depleted Detroit secondary.

Ready to rock Walker (foot) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact Walker practiced in limited fashion with the foot injury Wednesday, as he appears to be on track for Week 10 against Washington. Now healthy, expect the Louisiana-Lafayette product to assume his usual starting role at free safety in Sundays game.

NOVEMBER 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Missing more time Walker (foot) was listed as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

Impact Walker was forced to miss last week's loss to the Vikings after failing to practice with the foot issue, so it's at least a positive sign he was able to practice. If Walker was forced to miss Sunday's game against Washington, Will Harris would be in line for another start at free safety, with Miles Killebrew slotting behind him.
