Walker (knee) passed his physical and is back to full health for training camp, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Walker tore his ACL during the third practice of 2025 training camp, ending his rookie season before he had a chance to suit up for a single game. The 2025 fourth-rounder is now back and looking to make a case for a spot on a revamped linebackers corps ahead of the 2026 season.

Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said Tuesday that Walker (knee) is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. After being selected by Tampa Bay in the fourth round of last April's NFL Draft, Walker missed all of his would-be rookie campaign due to a torn ACL. It sounds like he's progressed well in his recovery, but Licht's comments don't make it clear if Walker will be able to participate in OTAs. Regardless, the Central Arkansas product is in line to make his NFL debut in 2026 and could serve in a key rotational role.

Walker was diagnosed with a torn ACL on Monday and will be sidelined for the 2025 season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The rookie fourth-rounder injured his knee during Friday's training camp practice, and further tests found a tear in his ACL. It's a brutal blow for Walker, who was expected to serve in a key rotational role at outside linebacker after impressing throughout OTAs and minicamp, but he'll have to wait until 2026 to make his professional debut. Walker's absence opens the door for Warren Peeples and Jose Ramirez to compete for a spot on the Bucs' 53-man roster.

Walker exited Friday's training camp practice with a knee injury and is expected to miss some time, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports. Head coach Todd Bowles stated Sunday that Walker was "still sore" and that the rookie was slated for more tests. Walker was selected in the fourth round out of Central Arkansas in April's draft after earning Consensus All-American honors on three occasions and is projected to fill a rotational role at outside linebacker in his first NFL season.
