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.

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.
