Walker recorded six total tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins. Walker was busy in Week 1, getting to Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in both the first and third quarter of the contest. The 23-year-old notched 10.0 sacks in 2023, and he's now off to a strong start to his third NFL season after being selected first overall in the 2022 NFL Draft by Jacksonville.

Walker closed the 2023 regular season with 52 tackles (27 solo), 10.0 sacks and one fumble recovery in 17 games. The 2022 first overall pick had a quiet rookie campaign with just 3.5 sacks in 15 contests, but he took a major step forward as a sophomore this past season, finishing second on the team in sacks. Walker could be poised for a full breakout in 2024, though the status of top pass rusher Josh Allen -- who could leave Jacksonville as a free agent -- could affect how much attention Walker receives from opposing offenses.

Walker registered five tackles (three solo), including one sack, in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. Walker's sack came in the fourth quarter, as he brought down Baker Mayfield for a 13-yard loss to help the Jaguars force a punt. The second-year linebacker has at least half a sack in five of his past six contests, pushing him to 7.0 sacks on the campaign. That's twice as many as he posted in nearly as many defensive snaps as a rookie last year.

Walker recorded six tackles, including a sack, in Sunday's 31-21 win at Indianapolis. Walker was arguably even more of a menace than his numbers would indicate, causing chaos in the Colts' backfield all afternoon. His sack came with 34 seconds to play in the first half when he stunned right tackle Braden Smith and then showed exceptional bend around the edge before bringing down 244-pound rookie Anthony Richardson with ease. He'll look to build on his great start to the season versus Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City in Week 2.

Walker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest versus the Titans. Walker suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Week 14 win over Tennessee, forcing him to miss the following two games as well. The 2022 No. 1 overall pick was able to return and play 36 percent of defensive snaps Week 17 against Houston, though he was still limited in each practice during Week 18 prep. With Jacksonville playing for a playoff berth Week 18, it's likely Walker will make every effort to suit up for Saturday's regular-season finale.
