Anthony Walker: Breaking News
Ruled out for Saturday
Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Panthers. Walker tweaked his ankle on the game's first snap and will be unable to return to the contest. Deion Jones will likely help fill the special-teams snaps that Walker was set to play in Week 18.
Questionable to return with ankle
Walker (ankle) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Walker exited the game after the opening kickoff. If the linebacker's ankle injury ends up being too much to play through, his role on special teams will likely be covered by Deion Jones for the remainder of Saturday's game.
