Lions' Tracy Walker: Benched in Week 15 win
Walker did not log a snap on defense during Saturday's win over the Broncos.
A struggling Lions secondary is looking for answers, and Walker has now gone two straight games with all of his snaps coming on special teams while Ifeatu Melifonwu logged nearly every rep on defense. While C.J. Gardner-Johnson is returning soon to reclaim the starting job anyway, Walker does not appear to be a part of the rotation at all anymore.

Lions' Tracy Walker: Has first sack of 2023 in win
Walker registered six tackles (three solo) including a sack in Monday's 26-14 win over the Raiders.
Walker's sack came on the Raiders' final drive in the fourth quarter on a third-down play that ultimately led to a turnover on downs. It was his first sack since Week 1 of the 2022 season, and his 35 tackles on the year is second on the team behind Alex Anzalone's 57.

Lions' Tracy Walker: Seven tackles in blowout loss
Walker had seven tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens.
The seven tackles Sunday were a season-high for Walker, who has played in at least 93 percent of defensive snaps since Week 3. He lost the starting safety job due to the emergence of Brian Branch but retook that mantle after C.J. Gardner-Johnson landed on IR after Week 2. Walker and the Lions will look to get back on track in Week 8 against the Raiders at home.

Lions' Tracy Walker: Starting Sunday
Walker will start Sunday against the Falcons, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
The sixth-year pro is getting the nod with starting safeties Kerby Joseph (hip) and C.J. Gardner-Johnson (pectoral) out with injuries. Walker started 37 games for Detroit between 2019 and 2022 but lost his starting spot in training camp when Brian Branch emerged as the nickel cornerback and Gardner-Johnson moved to safety. The 2018 third-round pick recorded more than 100 tackles in each of the two seasons, 2019 and 2021, in which he started at least 12 games.

Lions' Tracy Walker: Starting job in jeopardy
Walker appears to have lost his starting job after Brian Branch's recent promotion to the first-team defense, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Walker has drawn relatively good reports out of training camp given that he is coming off of a torn Achilles. However, Branch has forced his way into a starting job at nickel corner, which has pushed free-agent acquisition C.J. Gardner-Johnson to safety alongside Kerby Joseph. Seemingly the odd man out, Walker looks likely to finish well below the 800ish snaps he averaged from 2019 to 2021.

Lions' Tracy Walker: Returns to gridiron
Walker (Achilles) worked with Detroit's first-team defense Saturday, Benjamin Raven of MLive reports.
Walker suffered an Achilles injury that sidelined him from Week 4 of last year but has since had the offseason to move past the issue. The team captain started 15 games for the Lions in 2021, racking up 108 tackles, six pass breakups and one interception. Expect the veteran to start alongside second-year safety Kerby Joseph ahead of the coming season.
