2025 Fantasy Outlook
Walker is a new arrival in Tampa Bay, having signed a one-year deal this offseason after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Colts, Browns and Dolphins. He enjoyed a resurgent season of sorts in Miami last year, posting 68 tackles, including 1.0 sack, and two pass defenses, including one interception, over 14 regular-season games. He projects to start at left inside linebacker in Todd Bowles' 3-4 scheme heading into training camp. Read Past Outlooks
Released by the Buccaneers in August of 2025.
Working out for former team
Walker (knee) has a workout scheduled with the Colts on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Walker was released with a non-football injury designation by the Buccaneers on Monday but is healthy enough a few days later to work out for Indianapolis, where he played from 2017 through 2020 prior to joining Cleveland for three years and Miami for one. Tampa Bay had expressed interest in adding Walker to its practice squad if he doesn't join a 53-man roster elsewhere.

Walker, who suffered a quadriceps injury that limited him to three games in 2022, returns to lead the Browns' defense as its signal caller. Prior to the injury, he'd been a durable presence in the middle of defenses, either with the Colts or Browns. Cleveland added nothing to its linebacking crew via free agency or the draft, opting to stick with a group that had four members finish 2022 on injured reserve. If healthy, Walker should hit triple-digit tackles.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Making progress in recovery
All indications are that Walker's progress in his recovery from a quadriceps tear is going well, though the Browns have yet to provide a detailed update on the matter, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The same is true for fellow linebacker Sione Takitaki, who is recovering from a torn ACL. Walker suffered a season-ending quadriceps tear in Week 3 of the 2022 season. He subsequently re-signed with the Browns on a one-year contract in March, which is an indication that the team was pleased with the progress of Walker's recovery at the time.
