Set to play Saturday

Walker (ankle) has been ruled active for Saturday's game against the Titans.

Analysis: Walker was considered questionable to play due to a lingering high-ankle sprain. However, the 6-foot-5 edge defender will be good to suit up for the second time in as many weeks. Walker played a season-low 25 defensive against Houston last Sunday in his first game back following a two-week hiatus, though it's possible he could see increased playing time with the AFC South title on the line versus Tennessee in Week 18.

Questionable to suit up Week 18

Walker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest versus the Titans.

Analysis: Walker suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Week 14 win over Tennessee, forcing him to miss the following two games as well. The 2022 No. 1 overall pick was able to return and play 36 percent of defensive snaps Week 17 against Houston, though he was still limited in each practice during Week 18 prep. With Jacksonville playing for a playoff berth Week 18, it's likely Walker will make every effort to suit up for Saturday's regular-season finale.

Iffy for Sunday

Day-to-day with ankle

Walker (ankle) is considered day-to-day ahead of the Jaguars' matchup with the Cowboys on Sunday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Analysis: Walker exited the Jaguars' Week 14 win over the Titans early with a high ankle injury and head coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that the rookie is "day-to-day" heading into Week 15. The coach's words bode well for Walker's chances to play Sunday, but if he can't go, K'Lavon Chaisson will likely step into a starting role at outside linebacker against Dallas.

Undergoes MRI

Walker is waiting on MRI results after suffering an ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Titans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Walker left the game in the second half and was unable to return. The rookie was not wearing a walking boot after the game, nor was his foot wrapped, so it's difficult to say how significant the injury could be, or what his status may be for Week 15 against the Cowboys.

Exits with injury

Walker (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans.

Analysis: Walker logged three tackles and one QB hit before exiting at some point in the second half. With the rookie first-round pick sidelined, Josh Allen, K'Lavon Chaisson and Shaquille Quarterman will serve as the Jaguars' only available outside linebackers for the time being.
