The Facts: Eight months later, Walker is lighter. He's moving well. He's cutting smoothly. Progress. “I feel like I’m in the 85 percent range,” the veteran TE said Tuesday about how his ankle is feeling after the team’s second spring practice. “Today I felt fast getting out of my breaks, and I was catching the ball well. Always a good sign.”
Diehards Line:
It marked the first time Walker practiced on the field since Week 1 of last season, when he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the opener at Miami in September. Walker was a full participant during individual drills but watched most of team drills from the sideline in a ball cap. He said he jogged through about four snaps during team drills. "Really not trying to do anything that’s too physical at the moment," Walker said. Walker, who reiterated he doesn’t have a timetable for return, is still officially listed at 248 pounds – his listed weight a year ago – but said he’s shed “a few pounds.” He'll be 35 by the time the Titans begin the 2019 season Sept. 8 at Cleveland. Still, he's only two years removed from a five-season stretch in which he had at least 60 catches each year. He averaged 831.2 receiving yards over that span. Fantasy owners should overlook him come draft day.
