The Raiders signed Walter to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Analysis: Walter first joined up with Las Vegas in July and spent the preseason with the team. However, the 5-foot-8 running back never managed to crack the team's final 53-man roster, as he spent the entirety of the 2022 campaign on the practice squad. Walter logged 26 carries for 101 yards and a touchdown over four games with the Jets in 2021, and he'll look to compete for an active roster spot heading into the 2023 season.

The Raiders signed Walter to their practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Walter was waived by the Raiders on Tuesday as part of the team's final roster cuts, but he'll join the organization's practice squad a day later. The 26-year-old has appeared in nine games between the Giants, 49ers and Jets over the last three seasons.

Las Vegas waived Walter on Tuesday.
Analysis: No surprise here, as Walter was considered a long shot to make it through final roster cuts, as he was competing against a plethora of running backs. The journeyman has also spent time with the Jets, 49ers and Giants over the previous three seasons and will now have to look for another landing spot.
Aug 30, 2022 4:31 PM EST
Las Vegas signed Walter on Friday.
Analysis: Walter gets another chance to make an impression on an NFL team after the Jets waived him back in May. He'll be hard-pressed to make the 53-man roster in a Raiders running back room that already features Josh Jacobs, Kenyan Drake, Brandon Bolden, and 2022 fourth-round pick Zamir White.
Jul 29, 2022 1:33 PM EST
The Jets waived Walter on Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Walter finished the 2021 campaign with 26 rushes for 101 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for nine yards across four appearances. It's possible New York opts to bring the 25-year-old back on their practice squad, but its running back room is now crowed with the addition of second-round pick Breece Hall.
May 6, 2022 11:18 AM EST
Walter rushed 26 times for 101 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for nine yards over four appearances in 2021.
Analysis: Walter spent most of the season on the Jets' practice squad but was signed to the 53-man roster down the stretch after the team battled some injuries in the backfield. The 25-year-old Rice product has another year left on his contract with the Jets, but Walter will be fighting an uphill battle to make the roster in camp.
Jan 14, 2022 12:05 PM EST
Walter is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: As is La'Mical Perine, which sets the stage for Michael Carter, Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson to handle the Jets' backfield duties in Week 18.
Jan 9, 2022 12:16 PM EST
Walter rushed 14 times for 49 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 28-24 loss to Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Walter led the team in carries after Michael Carter (concussion) exited early, but Ty Johnson got the nod at the goal line in the third quarter and delivered a one-yard touchdown. If neither Carter nor Tevin Coleman (illness) plays in Week 18 against the Bills, Walter should retain a prominent role on the ground, though finding running room won't be easy against a stout Buffalo front.
Jan 2, 2022 3:05 PM EST
Walter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Walter had two carries for 12 yards last week against Miami as the No. 3 tailback, but he's a healthy scratch for Week 16. Ty Johnson will take on that role Sunday with Michael Carter and Tevin Coleman set to lead the backfield once again.
Dec 26, 2021 8:52 AM EST
Walter rushed twice for 12 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Walter barely saw the field as Michael Carter (ankle) and Tevin Coleman split work in the Jets' backfield. As long as New York's top two running backs stay healthy, there won't be much work to go around for Walter, but each of the top two options has dealt with injuries this season; Carter just came off IR this week and Coleman missed last week's game due to a concussion.
Dec 19, 2021 5:12 PM EST
Walter (illness) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Walter was active for last week's win over the Saints but didn't take the field due to an illness. However, it appears as though he'll be available Sunday against Miami. While the 25-year-old was expected to take on a key role against New Orleans, he's unlikely to see much playing time against the Dolphins since Tevin Coleman (concussion) and Michael Carter (ankle) are both expected to return to the field this week.
Dec 15, 2021 2:05 PM EST
Walter is dealing with an illness and has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Saints, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: That explains why Walter, though listed as active, had not played a snap in a contest he seemed poised to play a key role in. With Tevin Coleman (concussion) already out, next up for the Jets' Week 14 backfield work is the duo of La'Mical Perine and Ty Johnson.
Dec 12, 2021 11:16 AM EST
Walter is expected to play a significant role Sunday against the Saints, as Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports that Tevin Coleman (concussion) won't play.
Analysis: Walter and Ty Johnson are New York's top two healthy running backs, with La'Mical Perine also on hand. Though Walter's probably the team's preferred option on the ground out of the three, finding running room won't be easy against a stout Saints front that's allowing just 96.4 rushing yards per game.
Dec 10, 2021 10:10 AM EST
New York signed Walter off its practice squad Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: After top back Michael Carter (ankle) landed on injured reserve, Walter was elevated from the practice squad ahead of both of the Jets' last two games to bolster the team's depth at the position. Though Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson have worked ahead of him in both contests, Walter was active ahead of La'Mical Perine as the No. 3 back in Weeks 12 and 13 and combined for 10 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown and two receptions for nine yards. He'll now have a permanent home on the 53-man roster, filling the spot that belonged to Corey Davis (groin) before he was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move.
Dec 7, 2021 1:54 PM EST
Walter was reverted to the practice squad Monday.
Analysis: The running back had one carry for two yards and two catches for nine yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles after being elevated from the practice squad for the game. Walter will now head back down prior to the team's Week 14 matchup with the Saints.
Dec 6, 2021 8:22 PM EST
Walter rushed once for two yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 33-18 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Elevated from the practice squad for a second consecutive week, Walter saw limited work while Tevin Coleman dominated touches in the Jets' backfield with Michael Carter (ankle) on the shelf. In addition to his three touches, Walter also pitched the ball back to Zach Wilson on a flea flicker that turned into a 14-yard pass to Ryan Griffin. After elevating Walter twice, the Jets will have to sign him to the active roster if they want to use him again in game action this season.
Dec 6, 2021 8:40 AM EST
Walter was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.
Analysis: Walter surprisingly saw nine carries in Week 12 after being elevated from the practice squad in the absence of Michael Carter (ankle). He's now set for another chance to produce, though he'll likely remain behind at least Tevin Coleman in what could be a three-back committee in New York for a Week 13 matchup against the Eagles.
Dec 4, 2021 3:54 PM EST
Walter was moved back down to the Jets' practice squad Thursday.
Analysis: The running back was able to rush for 38 yards and a touchdown after being elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 12 contest against the Texans, but he will now return to the practice squad. With Tevin Colemand and Ty Johnson handling the duties in the backfield, Walter will likely remain off of the active roster barring any injuries.
Dec 2, 2021 3:51 PM EST
Walter rushed nine times for 38 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch his only target in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Walter was elevated from the practice squad with Michael Carter (ankle) on IR, and he worked as part of three-headed backfield committee with Tevin Coleman (16 carries for 67 yards) and Ty Johnson (six carries for 42 yards). Given an opportunity from the two-yard line late in the first half, Waller made the most of it by powering into the end zone. He'll likely be elevated again in Week 13 against the Eagles
Nov 28, 2021 6:14 PM EST
Walter was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
Analysis: Walter was signed to the Jets' practice squad Oct. 5 but has not been active at any point. That will be set to change in Week 12 for a matchup against the Texans, as he'll have the chance to serve in a depth role out of the backfield with Michael Carter (ankle) sidelined.
