Walker (illness) wasn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's practice session.
EDGE Analysis
Walker missed the last two games after he tested positive for COVID-19, but it appears as though he'll be back in action for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta. He should serve as the Lions' starting free safety in Week 16.

The Lions downgraded Walker (illness) from questionable to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit brought Walker back from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, but the Lions evidently had some reservations about his availability, given that he took a questionable tag into the weekend. Walker remains on the active roster and still appears to be asymptomatic of the virus, but Detroit may want to give him some more recovery time after he sat out last week's loss to the Broncos and didn't practice in any capacity Week 15. While Walker is out for another game, look for Will Harris and Dean Marlowe to serve as Detroit's starting safety tandem.

It's unclear whether Walker tested positive or was a close contact, though it's all but certain he will be sidelined Sunday against Denver. Walker has been a big part of Detroit's defensive and special teams units, and he's racked up 78 total tackles across 12 games on the season.

EDGE Analysis
Walker cracked double-digit tackles for the first time this year, bringing his season total to 78 stops through 12 games. The safety has been a consistent producer throughout the 2021 campaign and remains a solid option in most IDP formats.

Walker is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when Walker suffered the injury, but now he needs to be cleared by an independent doctor before he can return to the game. If he's unable to do so, then C.J. Moore would be in line to experience an uptick in his playing time.
