Quay Walker, Rashan Gary, Jaire Alexander Questionable For Packers
The Green Bay Packers could be missing some key defenders in a Week 11 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers at Lambeau Field on Sunday, as linebackers Quay Walker (groin) and Rashan Gary (shoulder) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder) are all listed as questionable. Meanwhile, safety Rudy Ford (biceps) is doubtful. Gary popped up on the injury report on Friday and was limited at practice. Alexander has missed the last four games with back and shoulder injuries, and Walker has missed the last two games with a groin injury. According to head coach Matt LaFleur, Alexander could play this weekend, even if he's not 100 percent. Walker is in play in starting lineups in IDP leagues when he's active, as he's averaging nearly 10 total tackles per game.
Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker (groin) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder), who were both listed as doubtful, are officially inactive for Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Walker's injury isn't considered a long-term one, but the 23-year-old will miss his second straight game. As a result, Isaiah McDuffie should start at inside linebacker for Green Bay on Sunday. Alexander, meanwhile, will miss his fourth straight game with a shoulder injury. Keisean Nixon will continue to start in the Packers' secondary. The Packers defense/special teams isn't worth starting in Week 10 in fantasy lineups.
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that linebacker Quay Walker (groin) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder) are doubtful for the Week 10 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The good news is that the Packers don't have any long-term concerns with Walker's groin injury, but this is still a notable development with Green Bay unlikely to have two of their best defenders on the road in Pittsburgh this weekend. The 23-year-old Walker is looking at missing his second straight contest, so Isaiah McDuffie should make another start at inside linebacker. Alexander is on track to miss his fourth straight game. Rookie Keisean Nixon is in line for another start in the secondary.
Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker (groin) and safety Rudy Ford (calf) have both been ruled out for the Week 9 contest against the visiting Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Both players suffered injuries during the practice week and will have to sit this one out. It makes an already soft defense even more vulnerable on Sunday, but it remains to be seen if Rams backup quarterback Brett Rypien will be able to take advantage of it while making the start for the injured Matthew Stafford (thumb). Walker is a starting option at linebacker in IDP fantasy leagues when healthy, as the 23-year-old currently has 66 tackles and an interception so far in his second NFL season.
Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker (groin) has been added to the injury report ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. This is not good news as Walker wasn't on the injury report until Friday's practice session. He was seen on a exercise bike and did not practice on Friday. At the moment, Walker is considered questionable for Sunday's game. His absence would probably mean more snaps for Eric Wilson and Isaiah McDuffie.
Quay Walker Active, Jaire Alexander Inactive For Week 7
Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker (knee) is active for Week 7 versus the Denver Broncos. Meanwhile, cornerback Jaire Alexander (back) is inactive. Despite having different statuses on Sunday, both players entered the weekend listed as questionable. Having Walker available will be huge as the favored Packers look to hold off the Broncos. In the secondary, Keisean Nixon will handle a significant portion of Alexander's workload.
Quay Walker, Jaire Alexander Questionable For Week 7
Green Bay Packers linebacker Quay Walker (knee) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (back) are both questionable to play in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos. Meanwhile, outside linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (ankle) is doubtful to play. Green Bay's defense is pretty beat up coming off their bye week, as safety Zayne Anderson (hamstring), safety Darnell Savage (calf), cornerback Eric Stokes (foot) and defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt (knee) are also questionable. The 23-year-old Walker was a first-rounder last year and is important to fantasy managers in IDP leagues, as he already has 51 total tackles and an interception through the first five games of this season. Alexander has missed two games already this year and is on the wrong side of questionable.
The Green Bay Packers signed first-round linebacker Quay Walker to his rookie deal on Thursday. The No. 22 overall pick signed shortly after the team signed their other first-rounder, defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, to a four-year, fully guaranteed deal worth $12.86 million with a $6.533 million signing bonus. Walker and Wyatt were two of five Georgia defensive players taken in the first round of this year's draft. Both the five Georgia defensive players and 15 total Bulldog players taken this year were records for the modern-draft era. Walker is considered a above-average coverage linebacker, so he's unlikely to become an IDP stud for fantasy managers in Green Bay.
The Green Bay Packers drafted Georgia linebacker Quay Walker with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft on Thursday evening. It's a bit surprising that the Packers didn't go receiver with their first pick in the first round, but the top receiving trio of Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave and Jameson Williams were already off the board. Walker is a great athlete at 6-foot-4, 241 pounds, and he ran an impressive 4.52-second 40-yard dash at the combine in February to impress scouts. Because of his speed, the talented linebacker is excellent in coverage. However, don't expect Walker to be in the backfield often rushing the passer, which means he probably won't be very useful in IDP leagues.
