The Cardinals signed Walker on Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walker appeared in all 17 of the Commanders' regular-season games during his one-year stint in Washington in 2024, recording 21 total tackles while primarily contributing on special teams (75 defensive snaps and 343 special teams snaps). Now in Arizona, the 27-year-old will likely play a similar role and compete for a rotational inside linebacker spot throughout the summer.

Walker signed a contract with the Commanders on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Walker suited up eight times for the Steelers in 2023, recording 33 tackles (21 solo) and two passes defended, including one interception. It was a reduced role from his 2022 campaign with the Falcons, which saw him cross the century mark in tackles. He'll likely be a depth option in Washington's linebacker corps this season.

Walker recorded three tackles (one solo) while intercepting a pass and deflecting another in Thursday's 21-18 loss to the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Walker played a smaller role on Pittsburgh's defense in Week 14, but he was still able to pick off Bailey Zappe in the third quarter, snatching his first interception of the season. The linebacker has compiled 20 tackles, an interception and a pass deflection over four games since joining the Steelers on Nov. 18.

Walker recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 24-10 loss versus the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Sunday's game was the first in which Walker managed a double-digit tackle total since Week 8 of last season. He should continue to be heavily involved as long as Cole Holcomb (knee) and Kwon Alexander (Achilles) remain sidelined.

The Steelers signed Walker off the practice squad to their active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was added to ensure depth at inside linebacker, as the team has already lost Kwon Alexander (Achilles), Cole Holcomb (knee) and Chapelle Russell (undisclosed) to injuries thus far. Walker's last in-game action came with the Falcons in 2022, when he started 12 games and tallied 107 total tackles.

The Bears waived Walker on Tuesday, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walker appeared in 16 games with the Falcons during the 2022 campaign but was waived by the team in mid-August. He landed with the Bears a day later but was unable to secure a spot on Chicago's 53-man roster. Given his role with Atlanta last season, it wouldn't be surprising to see him find an opportunity elsewhere.

Walker was claimed by the Bears off waivers Monday.

EDGE Analysis

One day after getting waived by the Falcons, Walker has quickly found a new home. The 2020 fourth-round pick played in 16 games (12 starts) for Atlanta last season and accumulated 107 tackles (56 solo) in the process. He will now look to earn a role providing depth at middle linebacker behind Tremaine Edmunds.

Walker was waived by the Falcons on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Walker's exit comes as a surprise after he appeared in 16 games last season -- starting 12 -- and recorded 107 tackles (56 solo). A fourth-round selection in the 2020 Draft, the Fresno State product will now have to work to find a new opportunity elsewhere.

Walker registered 107 tackles (56 solo), six pass defenses, two interceptions, one sack and one forced fumble across 16 appearances during the 2022 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Walker opened the season as a starter, posting 101 tackles, two interceptions and one sack across the first 12 games of the campaign. However, following Atlanta's Week 14 bye, he was replaced by rookie second-round pick Troy Andersen and saw just 39 defensive snaps over the final four games of the season. Overall, Walker's season totals look promising, but it appears he'll have an uphill battle for playing time during the final year of his rookie contract.

Walker notched eight tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Walker recorded at least eight tackles for a sixth straight game. Across 12 appearances, the third-year linebacker has totaled 101 tackles, six pass defenses, two interceptions, one sack and one forced fumble.
