Let go by Chicago
Published: 2023-08-29
The Bears waived Walker on Tuesday, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Walker appeared in 16 games with the Falcons during the 2022 campaign but was waived by the team in mid-August. He landed with the Bears a day later but was unable to secure a spot on Chicago's 53-man roster. Given his role with Atlanta last season, it wouldn't be surprising to see him find an opportunity elsewhere.

Walker has been claimed by the Bears off waivers.
One day after getting waived by the Falcons, Walker has quickly found a new home. The 2020 fourth-round pick played in 16 games (12 starts) for Atlanta last season and accumulated 107 tackles (56 solo) in the process. He will now look to earn a role providing depth at middle linebacker behind Tremaine Edmunds.

Walker was cut by the Falcons on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Walker's exit comes as a surprise after he appeared in 16 games last season, starting 12, and recorded 107 tackles (56 solo). A fourth-round selection in the 2020 Draft, the Fresno State product will now have to work to find a new opportunity elsewhere.

Walker registered 107 tackles (56 solo), six pass defenses, two interceptions, one sack and one forced fumble across 16 appearances during the 2022 campaign.
Walker opened the season as a starter, posting 101 tackles, two interceptions and one sack across the first 12 games of the campaign. However, following Atlanta's Week 14 bye, he was replaced by rookie second-round pick Troy Andersen and saw just 39 defensive snaps over the final four games of the season. Overall, Walker's season totals look promising, but it appears he'll have an uphill battle for playing time during the final year of his rookie contract.
