The Facts: Walker missed practice Wednesday, a day after being estimated as a full participant. It likely is a scheduled rest day, but the status report on Thursday will provide a better idea.

Diehards Line: Walker went on the practice report with his ankle injury in Week 14, missing the loss to Carolina on Dec. 11. He has not had a full week of practices since. Tight end Noah Fant (knee) returned to limited work, and safety Ryan Neal (knee) remained limited after his first practice since Dec. 9. Offensive guard Phil Haynes (ankle), running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle/quad), cornerback Xavier Crawford (hamstring), defensive end Shelby Harris (knee), offensive guard Gabe Jackson (rest) and nose tackle Al Woods (Achilles/rest) were non-participants. Linebacker Bruce Irvin (pectoral) returned to full participation after limited work Tuesday. Receiver Tyler Lockett (shin), offensive tackle Abraham Lucas (knee), offensive guard Damien Lewis (ankle) and cornerback Tariq Woolen (ankle) again were full participants.
