Bears' DeMarcus Walker: Ready to go Sunday
Walker (groin) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Texans.
Walker has been battling a groin injury over the last couple weeks, but he'll be able to play through it for the second consecutive game. The defensive end recorded a solo tackle in Week 1 versus the Titans and he'll be back in his starting role on Chicago's defensive line.

Bears' DeMarcus Walker: Active Sunday
Walker (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.
The defensive was a limited participant in practice Thursday and Friday. With Walker and Montez Sweat both suiting up after being listed as questionable, Chicago's defensive line has both of its starting ends for Week 1. Walker recorded 30 tackles, including 3.5 sacks, in 2023 during his first year with the team after signing a three-year deal.

Bears' DeMarcus Walker: Logs limited session Friday
Walker (groin) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
After a second consecutive limited practice session Friday, Walker is officially listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. The Bears' defensive line could be thin in Week 1, as Montez Sweat (toe) and Darrell Taylor (foot) are also listed as questionable. Expect rookie Austin Booker to see more snaps on Chicago's defensive line with Walker, Sweat and Taylor all potentially missing Sunday's contest.

Bears' DeMarcus Walker: Pops up on injury report
Walker was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice session due to a groin injury.
The injury appears to be recent, as Walker was able to practice in full Wednesday. His participation in Friday's session will provide a clearer picture on his status for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Titans.

Bears' DeMarcus Walker: Possible improved situation
Walker recorded at least half a sack in three of Chicago's last four games in 2023 and will have a full season playing across from Montez Sweat.
During his first year with the Bears, Walker posted just 3.5 sacks. The pass rusher was coming off a breakout season with Tennessee in 2022 with 7.0 sacks. However, last year after the Week 13 bye, Walker recorded a partial sack in all but one game. That success likely had to do with Montez Sweat becoming a focal point of opposing offenses. It's possible Walker carries his late-season success into 2024.

Bears' DeMarcus Walker: Completes first year in Chicago
Walker posted two tackles, including a sack, in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Playing on the fourth team in his seven-year career, Walker logged a career-high 688 snaps, which was 258 more snaps than the next-highest total. From a productivity standpoint, the veteran defensive end totaled 30 tackles, including 3.5 sacks. Going into his age-29 season, Walker has two years remaining on his contract with the Bears. If he retains his role in the defense, Walker will be a low-ceiling IDP option.

Bears' DeMarcus Walker: Full go Thursday
Walker (shin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
The veteran defensive end popped up on Chicago's injury report Wednesday with a shin issue, but it seems as if he's already been able to move past it, as he was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Walker has had a solid season thus far, appearing in 14 games and logging 24 total tackles, including 2,0 sacks and an additional five tackles for loss.

Bears' DeMarcus Walker: Nursing leg injury
Walker (leg) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Walker played a season-high 52 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss at Cleveland, so it's not immediately clear when he picked up the leg issue. He'll probably need to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Bears' DeMarcus Walker: First sack with Chicago
Walker tallied a sack among his four tackles in the Bears' 40-20 win over the Commanders on Thursday.
Not only did Walker get his first sack of the season, but this was the first time he had more than two tackles in a game. He'll likely be a low-floor IDP with occasional upside games going forward.
