Walker hauled in 4-of-6 targets for 36 yards Sunday against the Bills.
Walker, like the rest of Tennessee's offense, was kept quiet for most of the night by a ferocious Bills defense. His six targets tied for the team lead, so it's apparent that the poor performance wasn't due to a lack of attention from quarterback Marcus Mariota. Next week's matchup with a struggling Dolphins team offers a strong rebound opportunity for the tight end.

Walker (wrist) caught 7-of-10 targets for 68 yards Sunday against the Colts.
Walker seemed fully healthy after missing Week 2 with a wrist injury, trailing only Kendall Wright in targets and tying him for the team lead in receptions. Quarterback Marcus Mariota clearly has a high level of trust in Walker, so the tight end should continue to be heavily targeted moving forward.

Walker (wrist) is listed as inactive Sunday at Cleveland.
Walker fit in a full practice Friday, but sprained ligaments in his wrist will nonetheless keep him on the sideline, as he suggested may happen earlier in the week.

Keep an eye on Walker's participation in practice during the week, which will likely be the determining factor in his availability for Sunday.
