Devontez Walker Injury News & Updates

Head coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Walker will dress Sunday against the Browns in the absence of Rashod Bateman (ankle), Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Walker hasn't played since Week 5, but Bateman's injury will give the 2024 fourth-round pick an opportunity to see the field Sunday. Walker figures to fill a depth role, though he scored two touchdowns against the Browns in Week 2.

Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Walker will be a healthy scratch for a fourth consecutive week, and he's unlikely to play Week 11 against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 16 unless the Ravens require depth at wide receiver. Baltimore will go with five active wide receivers in Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester in Week 10.

Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against Miami.

Walker will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week, which leaves Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester as the Ravens' depth options at wide receiver behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins. Walker's next chance to play is Week 10 against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 9.

Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Walker wasn't able to suit up for the Raven's last contest versus the Rams during Week 6 due to an oblique injury but is now clear of any injury designation. This season Walker has secured three targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns, with both scores coming against the Browns. The wide receiver will have to wait till Week 9 to keep building his case as a reliable depth option for the team.

Walker (oblique) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Walker wasn't able to suit up Week 6 against the Rams, but now coming off Baltimore's bye he appears back to full health. He figures to resume handling his usual depth role at wide receiver during Sunday's home game against the Bears. Across five regular-season appearances so far Walker has secured all three of his targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns, with both scores having come Week 2 versus Cleveland.

Walker (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Walker downgraded to a DNP for Friday's practice, and his oblique injury is severe enough for him to not play in Sunday's home game. Walker has served in a depth role at wide receiver and as a contributor on special teams this season, which make Cornelius Johnson and Keith Kirkwood candidates to be elevated from the Ravens' practice squad to the active roster, especially if Zay Flowers (shoulder) is also ruled out.

Walker (oblique) isn't practicing Friday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Walker played through this oblique injury in the Week 5 loss to the Texans, but he continues to be bothered by the injury, and Friday's absence doesn't bode well for his availability Sunday against the Rams. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Walker has a chance to suit up Sunday.

Walker (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Walker was active in Week 5 versus Houston despite the injury, but it still seems to be bothering as Baltimore starts its new week of practice. He'll have two more opportunities to practice in full before the Ravens release their final injury report of the week Friday.

Walker failed to record a single offensive snap in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.

Walker played 14 snaps with the special teams unit in Week 5 while not being involved in Baltimore's offensive plans against Houston. The second-year wideout failed to record a reception for the second straight game and remains buried on the wide receiver depth chart behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace. Walker remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Rams.

Walker (oblique) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

After logging a 'DNP' on Wednesday, Walker was limited Thursday and then turned in a full practice Friday, before heading into the weekend listed as questionable. With his active status confirmed, Walker will be among QB Cooper Rush's Week 5 receiving options, but with fellow WRs Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace also on hand, Walker (who has a 3/60/2 receiving line through four games, with both scores occurring in Week 2) is a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option.

Walker (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Walker popped up on Wednesday's practice report as a DNP due to an oblique injury. Even with the questionable tag, he was able to end the week on a strong note with a full practice Friday, which has him trending in the right direction for Sunday's AFC contest. Walker has three catches on as many targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns across four regular-season games.

Walker (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Walker is recovering from an oblique injury that he likely sustained in Week 4 against the Chiefs. He has opened the week with a DNP-LP practice log, and Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Texans on Sunday. The 2024 fourth-rounder has three catches on as many targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns through the first four games of the regular season.

Walker (oblique) did not practice Wednesday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.

It's a new injury for Walker, who had his snaps cut in Week 4 against the Chiefs, as he played just four offensive snaps after falling 20 total in Weeks 2 and 3. Walker is operating as a depth wideout and special teams player for the Ravens.

Walker failed to record a single target in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Walker was not a part of the Ravens' offensive plans Sunday, as the wideout played just four of the team's 54 offensive snaps in the contest and was held without a target for the second time this season. Buried on Baltimore's wide receiver depth chart, the second-year wideout should continue to face an uphill battle for meaningful playing time. Barring injuries, Walker should not be trusted for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Texans.

Walker caught his lone target for a 34-yard gain in Monday's loss to the Lions.

That catch marked the first reception of Walker's career that didn't result in a touchdown. Prior to Monday, all three of Walker's career receptions went for scores. Still, a 34-yard grab demonstrated Walker's downfield ability. Baltimore has a crowded target rotation with Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews eating up nearly two-thirds of the opportunities. Walker's snap share may continue to remain on the lower end even though he is showing some promise on his limited opportunities.

Walker caught both of his targets for 26 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Browns.

The second-year man has three career receptions, all of which have gone for touchdowns. That's efficiency. Walker played 13 snaps Sunday after not getting on the field on offense in the opener. It's important to note that neither of Walker's touchdowns came in "garbage time" either. His first came with 10 minutes to go in the third quarter when Lamar Jackson found him in the back of the end zone on fourth down. His second came early in the fourth quarter to put the Ravens up 27-20. The Ravens have a crowded receiver room, and it seems as though Walker, Tylan Wallace and DeAndre Hopkins are all battling for snaps as the No.3 wideout. Walker is likely third in the pecking order among that group, but if he keeps capitalizing on his opportunities, more playing time could be in store as the season progresses.

Walker failed to play a single offensive snap in Sunday's 41-40 loss to the Bills.

Walker played 21 snaps on special teams Sunday and was not a part of Baltimore's offensive plans against the Bills. The second-year wideout remains buried on the wide receiver depth chart behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace. Barring injuries, Walker remains far off the fantasy radar ahead of a Week 2 matchup against the Browns.

Walker recorded six catches on eight targets for 61 yards in Saturday's 31-13 preseason win over the Cowboys.

The Ravens sat all of their top skill-position players, setting Walker up to start. He continued to pick up the momentum that began with strong practices during camp by delivering long gains of 17, 14 and 11 yards. Both Walker's practice and game performances have likely pushed him off the roster bubble, and he may currently be fourth on the wide receiver depth chart ahead of Tylan Wallace.

Walker made some impressive catches with the second-string offense during Thursday's joint practice with the Colts, Giana Han and Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner report.

After missing a few days with a soft-tissue injury, Walker is back in action and continuing his push for a depth role. Reports out of Baltimore camp suggest the 2024 fourth-round pick is having a nice summer, although he'll still have a hard time moving any higher than fourth on the depth chart before Week 1 -- behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins.

Walker (undisclosed) is practicing Sunday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Walker was held out of practice Saturday with what was deemed a soft-tissue injury, but the issue appears to have been minor. That's great news for Walker, who has had a good camp so far and is pushing for Baltimore's No. 4 wideout role behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins.

Walker didn't practice Saturday due to a soft-tissue injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Walker has had a strong training camp and has emerged as a leading candidate to open the campaign as Baltimore's No. 4 receiver. It's not yet clear if he'll need to miss additional practices, but head coach John Harbaugh said Saturday that the wideout has put on "a lot of mileage" in camp, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun. Walker played in nine regular-season games as a rookie last year, recording one catch for a 21-yard touchdown while also contributing on special teams.

Walker was Baltimore's most consistent wide receiver during spring practices and appears to be the front-runner for the WR4 job, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Walker was a fourth-round pick in the 2024 Draft and saw just three targets across nine regular-season appearances as a rookie, catching one pass for a 21-yard touchdown. Walker played just 57 offensive snaps across those nine contests and was sixth amongst Baltimore's wideouts in targets. The Ravens signed DeAndre Hopkins in the offseason and kept Tylan Wallace with a one-year deal, but Hensley believes Walker is positioned to leap Wallace for the WR4 gig despite Wallace posting an 11-193-1 line on 12 targets and 275 snaps last regular season.

Walker made one catch on three targets for a 21-yard touchdown over nine regular-season games in 2024.

Walker was a healthy scratch until making his NFL debut Week 7 against Tampa Bay. The highlight of his campaign was a 21-yard touchdown reception against the Giants for his first NFL catch in Week 15. The vast majority of Walker's work came on special teams, as he logged 153 snaps with that unit as opposed to 55 on offense. There is room for Walker to move up in the wideout pecking order in Baltimore, and he'll look to grow as an offensive contributor next season.

Walker is active for Monday's contest against the Buccaneers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Walker will be active for the first time this season after the Ravens selected him in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The wide receiver will operate as a depth option behind the likes of Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor versus Tampa Bay.

Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Walker has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut. The rookie fourth-round pick remains behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace and Deonte Harty on Baltimore's wideout depth chart.

Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Walker is a rookie fourth-round pick, but he's yet to make his NFL regular-season debut. Deonte Harty (knee) is also inactive, so Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor and Tylan Wallace are the Ravens' only active wideouts versus Cincinnati.

Walker (coach's decision) is out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

The wide receiver was also a healthy scratch for Baltimore's Week 1 loss to Kansas City. Walker is buried on the depth chart behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace and Deonte Harty.

Walker is inactive for Thursday's season opener against the Chiefs.

With the 2024 fourth-rounder being made a healthy scratch Thursday, the Ravens will proceed with a wideout corps comprised of Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace and Deonte Harty in Week 1.

Walker (ribs) had one reception for five yards on two targets in Saturday's preseason finale.

Walker returned from a minor rib injury that nagged the rookie wideout this preseason. The fourth-round pick out of North Carolina remains in pole position to nab one of the backup spots behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor come Week 1. Walker will struggle to put up consistent fantasy numbers in that role out of the gates, but he has the size (6-foot-1, 191 pounds) and to go with a 4.36 40-yard time to be worth noting should playing time open up in the future.

Walker (ribs) participated in practice Tuesday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Walker, who has been managing a rib issue, didn't practice Monday, but the 2024 fourth-rounder's return to the field a day later bodes well for his chances of seeing action in Saturday's preseason finale against the Packers. As the coming season approaches, Walker is looking to carve out a steady role as a rookie in a WR corps that also includes veteran returnees Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor.

Coach John Harbaugh said Walker's lack of playing time in a preseason win over Atlanta on Saturday was related to a rib injury, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

The rookie fourth-round pick has only one target and no receptions through two preseason games and doesn't seem to have gotten any snaps before halftime. This perhaps mitigates concern about Walker's progress, but it does seem he's headed for a lower spot on the depth chart to start the season, likely behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor at the very least.

Walker wasn't targeted in Saturday's preseason game against Atlanta.

Bo Smolka of PressBox notes that Walker appeared to play only a few snaps on offense, with Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reporting that the rookie got work covering a kickoff before appearing on offense. It's not looking good for an early season role, as Walker was also nearly absent in Baltimore's preseason opener, finishing without a catch on a single late-game target. The fourth-round pick at least figures to have a roster spot, and the depth chart ahead of him is shaky beyond Zay Flowers.

Walker failed to bring in his only target in Friday's 16-13 preseason loss to the Eagles.

The Ravens sat out most of their top offensive personnel, including quarterback Lamar Jackson and wideouts Zay Flowers, Nelson Agholor and Rashod Bateman (undisclosed), but Walker still didn't see his only target until the third quarter and couldn't connect with No. 3 QB Devin Leary on the pass. Walker, a fourth-round pick in the 2024 Draft, will look for a chance to make a bigger impact in next Saturday's exhibition against the Falcons, but his usage in the Ravens' preseason opener doesn't suggest he'll have a big role when the regular season begins.
