The Seahawks waived Walden (hip) from injured reserve Saturday, Ben Arthur of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walden was an exciting pickup, as he made two sacks in his preseason debut. He is just two seasons removed from an 11-sack campaign, but his durability is questionable at 33 years old. He'll be free to sign with another team now, and he can re-sign with the Seahawks after three weeks.

The Seahawks placed Walden (hip) on injured reserve Saturday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a bummer for the Seahawks, who watched Walden make two sacks in his preseason debut. The veteran linebacker was set to bolster the team's pass rush, but now the Seahawks will revert to Frank Clark (elbow) and Dion Jordan (shin).

Walden is dealing with a hip flexor injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hip flexor's can be somewhat tricky. Right now, Walden's hip injury is masked by minimal details regarding the extent of the ailment. It's tough to establish a timeline for a return with little information other than the injury itself, but the timing of the injury is rough considering 53-man roster trims are lurking on the horizon.

Walden made two sacks during Friday's 21-20 preseason loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Just two years removed from racking up 11 sacks for the Colts, Walden was brought in to bolster the Seahawks' pass rush, and the 33-year-old looks like he still has it. Walden likely sealed his spot on the team with his electric performance.

Walden agreed to a contract with the Seahawks on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walden earned over 500 defensive snaps as a rotational outside linebacker with the Titans in 2017, ultimately logging 36 tackles and four sacks in 16 games. In Seattle, he'll likely compete with Barkevious Mingo, D.J. Alexander and Shaquem Griffin for snaps opposite starting OLB K.J. Wright.

Walden is still dealing with a groin injury and did not practice Wednesday, Jason Wolf of The Tennessean reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walden missed some practice early last week as well and dealt with a groin issue this preseason, but he is currently considered day-to-day. The 32-year-old's status for Sunday's game against the Texans will likely be determined by his ability to practice the back half of this week.

Walden signed a contract with the Titans on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was a bit of a surprise to see Walden go unsigned this offseason after he tallied a career high 11.0 sacks in 2016 while with the Colts. Prior to last season, he had only tallied more than 3.0 sacks once. The 31 year old linebacker will likely be a backup outside linebacker with the Titans in what will be his 11th professional campaign.
