Walker recorded six total tackles (all solo) during Sunday's 16-10 win over the Colts. Walker has played 100 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps in back-to-back weeks, solidifying his role as the team's top inside linebacker. The 2021 first-round pick has posted 110-plus tackles in each of his first two seasons in the NFL, and he's expected to remain one of the league's top tacklers as Green Bay travels to Tennessee in Week 3.

Walker was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a groin injury. Walker wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, but it appears he is dealing with a groin issue. His practice participation Friday will give a better sense on his availability for Week 2 against the Colts. The 2022 first-round pick played all 76 defensive snaps for the Packers in their Week 1 loss to the Eagles, and he finished the contest with 11 tackles (seven solo).

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Walker "more than likely" will wear the green dot helmet in 2024 as the Packers' primary defensive communicator, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. Walker logged over 100 tackles during both of his first two seasons in Green Bay, making him the team's most proven off-ball linebacker following the release of De'Vondre Campbell, who has since joined San Francisco. The Packers are shifting to a new 4-3 defensive scheme under first-year defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, and the team added Edgerrin Cooper in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft while bringing back veteran Isaiah McDuffie. As such, Walker will still likely have to prove that he's capable of handling a bigger role as Hafley begins to implement his defense this offseason.

Walker stacked up 118 tackles (59 solo), 2.5 sacks, an interception, three pass deflections and a touchdown over 14 games in the 2023 regular season. Walker just missed matching the 121 stops he made during his rookie season, and he undoubtedly would have surpassed that number had he not missed three games. He's developed into an every-down linebacker, and he should find himself in the same role in 2024.

Walker (shoulder) was a full participant at the Packers' practice Thursday. Walker was considered a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, but his full workload Thursday erases any doubt about his chances to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bears. The linebacker recorded six tackles, including a sack, in Green Bay's win over the Vikings in Week 17.
