Walker (ankle) is active for Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. Walker missed the Packers' final three games of the regular season due to an ankle injury. He was a limited participant in practice all week, and the 2022 first-round pick has progressed enough in his recovery to play in the Packers' playoff opener. Walker will start alongside Edgerrin Cooper and Isaiah McDuffie while Eric Wilson and Ty'Ron Hopper provide rotational depth at linebacker.
Walker (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Walker practiced for the first time since injuring his ankle in Week 15, logging a week of limited sessions. Despite the Georgia product being sidelined for four games this season, he remains the Packers' leading tackler with 102 stops in just 13 appearances. Walker would be a significant addition to Green Bay's defense if he can play Sunday, starting alongside rookie Edgerrin Cooper. If he's unable to play through his ankle issue, expect Isaiah McDuffie to serve as one of the Packers' starting inside linebackers in the wild-card round.
Walker (ankle) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports. Walker had yet to practice since suffering the injury in Week 15, so his return to the field in any capacity is a big step in the right direction. Head coach Matt LaFleur stated Monday that he was optimistic Walker could suit up Sunday against the Eagles, and he may now be on track to do so. Walker's practice status in the days ahead will still be worth monitoring though.

Walker missed the Packers' final three regular-season games and has yet to practice since suffering the injury in Week 15. The return of the Georgia product would certainly be a boost to the Packers' linebacker corps against Philadephia in the wild-card round.
Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears. Walker was injured in Week 15 and has been sidelined ever since. He's yet to even practice since the injury. Walker wraps up the regular season with 102 tackles (72 solo), including nine TFLs and 2.5 sacks, and two pass breakups. Eric Wilson (100 percent of the defensive snaps) and Edgerrin Cooper (99 percent) played every-down linebacker roles for the Packers last Sunday against the Vikings.
Walker (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Walker has been unable to practice or play since suffering an ankle injury during the Packers' Week 15 against the Seahawks. The 2022 first-round pick won't likely play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bears unless he practices in at least a limited capacity Friday. Isaiah McDuffie and Eric Wilson will continue to see increased snaps with the first-team defense for as long as Walker is sidelined.
Walker (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. The 2022 first-round pick from Georgia has yet to practice since sustaining an ankle injury in the Packers' Week 15 win over the Seahawks, making it no surprise that he won't return for the Week 17 divisional matchup. Walker's next opportunity to suit up will come in Week 18, when the Packers host the Bears. Expect Isaiah McDuffie and Eric Wilson to see additional snaps with Green Bay's first-team defense while Walker is sidelined Sunday.
Walker (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Green Bay's practice estimate Wednesday. Walker is still dealing with the ankle injury that held him out of the team's Week 16 win over the Saints.
