Tracy Walker Believed To Have Suffered Torn Achilles
2 years agoDetroit Lions safety Tracy Walker (Achilles), who had been impressive through two weeks, is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. If it's confirmed, it would knock him out for the season, according to sources. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues that had been running with the 27-year-old as their defensive back will obviously need to go in another direction for the rest of the year. Walker will finish 2022 with a sack, 20 tackles (11 solo) and a pass defensed in three games played. Kerby Joseph is expected to take over for Walker moving forward. It's bad news for a Lions defense that has allowed 265.7 passing yards per game through the first three weeks.
