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

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

Walker (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. 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.

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

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