The Steelers added Walker to their practice squad midway through the 2023 campaign. It became a key acquisition, as the Steelers lost starter Cole Holcomb to a season-ending injury in early November.
Walker made his Steelers debut in Week 11 of that season versus the Cleveland Browns. He started that contest along with the next two games.
Walker played in the final eight games of 2023 for Pittsburgh, starting five of those contests. During Week 13 versus the Arizona Cardinals, Walker posted 10 combined tackles while playing 65 defensive snaps.
