Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has been active for four of Chicago's last five games, taking the roster spot of Rome Odunze. With Odunze ready to return to the field, Walker will be a healthy scratch.

Walker caught two of three targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Walker finished the season with six receptions on 10 targets for 87 yards and two touchdowns across nine games, with all of his production coming over the final three contests. He logged only eight offensive snaps prior to that stretch while frequently inactive, highlighting how situational his usage was. He is signed with Chicago through 2027 and enters 2026 as a depth receiver with fringe roster appeal.

Walker (illness) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough.

EDGE Analysis

Walker will have two more opportunities to retake the practice field ahead of Saturday's wild-card round playoff matchup against the Packers. In the event that Rome Odunze (foot) is able to retake the field versus Green Bay, however, Walker will figure to revert to a depth role on offense.

Walker caught two of three targets for 30 yards in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Walker played extended snaps with Rome Odunze (foot) and Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) sidelined, finishing with three targets for the second straight contest. He has now caught four passes on six targets over his last two games, accounting for all of his offensive production this season. As long as multiple receivers remain out, he profiles as a low-volume depth option tied to opportunity rather than consistent usage.

Walker caught two of three targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Walker played 27 percent of the snaps with Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) out after totaling only nine offensive snaps prior to this game. He saw his first career targets, converting one into a touchdown. While the scoring play boosts his profile, his role remains situational and dependent on continued absences ahead of him.

Walker (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's battle against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

This is not out of the norm for Walker, who has played in just six of Chicago's 13 contests so far this season. When he has suited up, most of Walker's work has come on special teams, so the rookie's inactive status Sunday should have almost no bearing on the Bears' offense.

Walker didn't draw a target while playing two of the Bears' 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

A healthy inactive for Chicago's last four games, Walker returned to action Sunday due to top wideout Rome Odunze (foot) being unavailable. The undrafted rookie placed fourth among Bears receivers in snaps, but DJ Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus and Luther Burden comfortably worked ahead of him. Chicago also made ample use of their tight ends, as all of Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet and Durham Smythe out-snapped Walker.

Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Friday's game against the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie wideout has played just six offensive snaps and another 61 on special teams across five appearances this season.

Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walker missed the last two games with a concussion, and despite being cleared of an injury designation the depth wide receiver will not suit up Sunday. The 23-year-old is predominantly a special teams player, so his absence may just be the team trying new options or taking it slow with a depth contributor back from injury.

Walker (concussion) was not listed on Chicago's injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Walker has missed the Bears' last two games due to a concussion, but it now looks like he's back at full strength to begin their new week of preparation. Of his 67 snaps so far this season, 61 have come on special teams.
