Walker (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Despite suffering a setback Thursday with his groin injury, Walker was a full participant in Friday's practice and was able to clear injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional contest. The wide receiver received two targets in last Thursday's loss to the Bengals, but was unable to corral either.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Downgrades to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Walker (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Walker downgraded to a limited participant Thursday after logging a full practice Wednesday. The diminishing participation indicates a setback and puts the wide receiver's chances of playing in Sunday's divisional matchup with the Steelers into question. The 24-year-old will have one more chance to upgrade his practice participation before the Ravens release their final Week 14 injury report.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Blanked on Thanksgiving Day
Rotowire
Walker did not record a catch on two targets during Baltimore's 32-14 loss to Cincinnati on Thursday.
Walker played just 17 snaps on offense during Thursday's loss, with his decreased playing time corresponding with the return of Rashod Bateman from a two-game absence. Walker has caught one pass or less in seven of eight regular-season games, and both of his receiving touchdowns came in Week 2 against the Browns. The second-year wideout is unlikely to see consistent work in the Ravens' offense unless Bateman, Zay Flowers or DeAndre Hopkins were to miss time.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Makes most of lone target
Rotowire
Walker had a 30-yard reception on his lone target Sunday against the Jets.
The second-year wideout saw a season-high 23 snaps as Baltimore looked to find a spark in Rashod Bateman's absence. Walker was only targeted once, but converted it into the Ravens' longest offensive play from scrimmage Sunday. He has caught all four of his targets this season for 90 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Walker's overall sample is too small to draw hard conclusions, but he has produced when called upon, dating back to his rookie season. Pending Bateman's status for Thursday's game against the Bengals, Walker could have a similar role in Week 13. If Bateman (ankle) is back, however, Walker appears to be at risk of being a healthy scratch.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Practices in full
Rotowire
Walker (oblique) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Walker wasn't able to suit up Week 6 against the Rams, but now coming off Baltimore's bye he appears back to full health. He figures to resume handling his usual depth role at wide receiver during Sunday's home game against the Bears. Across five regular-season appearances so far, Walker has secured all three of his targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns, with both scores having come Week 2 versus Cleveland.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Still dealing with oblique issue
Rotowire
Walker (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Walker was active in Week 5 versus Houston despite the injury, but it still seems to be bothering him as Baltimore starts its new week of practice. He'll have two more opportunities to practice in full before the Ravens release their final injury report of the week Friday.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Draws questionable tag for Week 5
Rotowire
Walker (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Walker popped up on Wednesday's practice report as a DNP due to an oblique injury. Even with the questionable tag, he was able to end the week on a strong note with a full practice Friday, which has him trending in the right direction for Sunday's AFC contest. Walker has three catches on as many targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns across four regular-season games.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Returns to practice Thursday
Rotowire
Walker (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Walker is recovering from an oblique injury that he likely sustained in Week 4 against the Chiefs. He has opened the week with a DNP-LP practice log, and Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Texans on Sunday. The 2024 fourth-rounder has three catches on as many targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns through the first four games of the regular season.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: DNP with oblique injury
Rotowire
Walker (oblique) did not practice Wednesday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
It's a new injury for Walker, who had his snaps cut in Week 4 against the Chiefs, as he played just four offensive snaps after having 20 total in Weeks 2 and 3. Walker is operating as a depth wideout and special teams player for the Ravens.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Not involved in loss
Rotowire
Walker failed to record a single target in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Chiefs.
Walker was not a part of the Ravens' offensive plans Sunday, as the wideout played just four of the team's 54 offensive snaps in the contest and was held without a target for the second time this season. Buried on Baltimore's wide receiver depth chart, the second-year wideout should continue to face an uphill battle for meaningful playing time. Barring injuries, Walker should not be trusted for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Texans.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Makes long reception Monday
Rotowire
Walker caught his lone target for a 34-yard gain in Monday's loss to the Lions.
That catch marked the first reception of Walker's career that didn't result in a touchdown. Prior to Monday, all three of Walker's career receptions went for scores. Still, a 34-yard grab demonstrated Walker's downfield ability. Baltimore has a crowded target rotation with Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews eating up nearly two-thirds of the opportunities, and Isaiah Likely (foot) potentially close to his season debut. Walker's snap share may continue to remain on the lower end even though he is showing some promise on his limited opportunities.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Two catches, two touchdowns
Rotowire
Walker caught both of his targets for 26 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Browns.
The second-year wideout has three career receptions, all of which have gone for touchdowns. That's efficiency. Walker played 13 snaps Sunday after not getting on the field on offense in the opener, with his first TD coming early in the third quarter when Lamar Jackson found him in the back of the end zone on fourth down. His second came early in the fourth quarter to put the Ravens up 27-20. Baltimore has a crowded receiver room, and it seems as though Walker, Tylan Wallace and DeAndre Hopkins are all battling for the No. 3 job. Walker is likely third in the pecking order among that group at the moment, but if he keeps capitalizing on his opportunities, more playing time could be in store.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Picks up 61 yards
Rotowire
Walker recorded six catches on eight targets for 61 yards in Saturday's 31-13 preseason win over the Cowboys.
The Ravens sat all of their top skill-position players, setting Walker up to start. He continued to carry over the momentum generated by his strong practices during camp by delivering solid gains of 17, 14 and 11 yards Saturday. Both Walker's practice and game performances have likely pushed him off the roster bubble, and he may unofficially now be fourth on the wide receiver depth chart ahead of Tylan Wallace.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Looks good in joint practice
Rotowire
Walker made some impressive catches with the second-string offense during Tuesday's joint practice with the Colts, Giana Han and Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner report.
After missing a few days with a soft-tissue injury, Walker is back in action and continuing his push for a depth role. Reports out of Baltimore camp suggest the 2024 fourth-round pick is having a nice summer, although he'll still have a hard time moving any higher than fourth on the depth chart before Week 1 -- behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Walker (undisclosed) is practicing Sunday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Walker was held out of practice Saturday with what was deemed a soft-tissue injury, but the issue appears to have been minor. That's great news for Walker, who has had a good camp so far and is pushing for Baltimore's No. 4 wideout role behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins. While Walker is in uniform Sunday, he's working off to the side and not taking part in team drills, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun, so he may need another day or two to get back to full participation.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Dealing with soft-tissue injury
Rotowire
Walker didn't practice Saturday due to a soft-tissue injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Walker has had a strong training camp and has emerged as a leading candidate to open the campaign as Baltimore's No. 4 receiver. It's not yet clear if he'll need to miss additional practices, but head coach John Harbaugh said Saturday that the wideout has put on "a lot of mileage" in camp, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun. Walker played in nine regular-season games as a rookie last year, recording one catch for a 21-yard touchdown while also contributing on special teams.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Leading candidate for WR4 job
Rotowire
Walker was Baltimore's most consistent wide receiver during spring practices and appears to be the frontrunner for the WR4 job, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Walker was a fourth-round pick in the 2024 Draft and saw just three targets across nine regular-season appearances as a rookie, catching one pass for a 21-yard touchdown. Walker played just 57 offensive snaps across those nine contests and was sixth amongst Baltimore's wideouts in targets. The Ravens signed DeAndre Hopkins in the offseason and kept Tylan Wallace with a one-year deal, but Hensley believes Walker is positioned to leap Wallace for the WR4 gig despite Wallace posting an 11-193-1 line on 12 targets and 275 snaps last regular season.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Has minor offensive role as rookie
Rotowire
Walker made one catch on three targets for a 21-yard touchdown over nine regular-season games in 2024.
Walker was a healthy scratch until making his NFL debut Week 7 against Tampa Bay. The highlight of his campaign was a 21-yard touchdown reception against the Giants for his first NFL catch in Week 15. The vast majority of Walker's work came on special teams, as he logged 153 snaps with that unit as opposed to 55 on offense. There is room for Walker to move up in the wideout pecking order in Baltimore, and he'll look to grow as an offensive contributor next season.

Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
The wide receiver was also a healthy scratch for Baltimore's Week 1 loss to Kansas City. Walker is buried on the depth chart behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace and Deonte Harty.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Back at practice
Rotowire
Walker (ribs) participated in practice Tuesday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Walker, who has been managing a rib issue, didn't practice Monday, but the 2024 fourth-rounder's return to the field a day later bodes well for his chances of seeing action in Saturday's preseason finale against the Packers. As the regular season approaches, Walker is looking to carve out a steady role as a rookie in a WR corps that also includes veterans Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor.
