Walker stacked up 118 tackles (59 solo), 2.5 sacks, an interception, three pass deflections and a touchdown over 14 games in the 2023 regular season.
Walker just missed matching the 121 stops he made during his rookie season, and he undoubtedly would have surpassed that number had he not missed three games. He's developed into an every-down linebacker, and he should find himself in the same role in 2024.

Packers' Quay Walker: Limited to open week
Rotowire
Walker (shoulder) was considered a limited participant at the Packers' walk-through.
Walker popped up on the injury report Wednesday with a shoulder issue after he recorded five tackles, including a half-sack, in the Packers' win over the Panthers in Week 16. Considering he was estimated as limited, it seems to suggest that the linebacker is dealing with a minor injury, but nonetheless, his status at the team's final two practices of the week is worth monitoring.

Packers' Quay Walker: Ready for Sunday
Rotowire
Walker (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers.
The 2022 first-round pick appeared to be hindered by a shoulder injury during practice this week, as he recorded three limited sessions, but it now seems as if he's been able to move past the issue. Walker has been productive in his second year in the NFL, logging 98 total tackles in just 11 games. He and the Packers defense will look to rebound against a Panthers offense that has scored less than 21 points in each of their last eight contests.

Packers' Quay Walker: Leads team in victory
Rotowire
Walker made 13 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Chiefs.
Walker played all 67 defensive stats and also led the Packers in tackles. The 23-year-old now has 26 tackles in the last three weeks and also leads his team with 92 tackles on the year. Taking on a run-heavy Giants offense in Week 14, the heat-seeking missile should have ample opportunities to match his huge Week 13 performance.

Packers' Quay Walker: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Walker (concussion) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The 2022 first-round pick logged an impressive Week 1 performance, highlighted by a fourth-quarter interception that he returned for a score.

Walker made a strong impact to begin Sunday's matchup, racking up eight tackles (seven solo) prior to leaving the game in the second half.
