Walker racked up seven tackles (four solo) including 1.0 sacks during Miami's 20-12 loss to Houston in Week 15. Walker played 98 percent of defensive snaps versus the Texans, continuing to handle the very-down role he inherited Week 9. Aside from Week 12, when he was forced off the field early with a hamstring injury, Walker has notched at least seven tackles in each of his opportunities as a starter this year. He figures to be heavily involved again on Sunday, versus a 49ers backfield led by Isaac Guerendo.

Walker (hamstring) isn't listed on Miami's injury report Wednesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Walker hurt his hamstring in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Jets, but he appears to be clear of the injury. That's good news for the Dolphins, as he ranks third on the team with 55 tackles on the campaign. Walker has recorded at least seven stops in four of his past five games.

Walker has logged 48 tackles (22 solo) and one interception across 11 regular-season games.
Walker (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. Walker was sidelined for the Dolphins' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Packers due to a hamstring injury. He was a DNP for Wednesday's practice, but he increased his participation over the next two days to give himself a chance to play in Sunday's AFC East showdown. Walker has logged 48 tackles (22 solo) and two pass defenses (including one interception) across 11 regular-season games.
Walker (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday but is expected to practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Walker sat out of Miami's contest in Week 13 at Green Bay due to a hamstring issue, and now his availability for Week 14 looks far from guaranteed. His practicing Thursday would be a step in the right direction towards playing Sunday versus the Jets, though.
Walker (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Packers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Walker is set to miss his first game of the season Thursday night after sustaining a hamstring injury sustained in the Dolphins' Week 12 win over the Patriots. Expect Tyrel Dodson to serve as one of Miami's first-team inside linebackers on Thanksgiving Day in Walker's stead.
Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday that Walker's hamstring issue will likely keep him sidelined for Miami's Week 13 matchup against the Packers on Thursday night, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports. The veteran from Northwestern played 16 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles before sustaining a hamstring injury in the Dolphins' Week 12 win over the Patriots. With Walker expected to be held out of Miami's Thanksgiving night game, Tyrel Dodson will likely start alongside Jordyn Brooks as part of the Dolphins' top inside linebacker duo.
Walker (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Patriots. The inside linebacker had already gone to the locker room after being examined by trainers on the sideline. Walker recorded two tackles (one solo) before exiting. Tyrel Dodson should see more snaps in Walker's absence.
