Packers News: Quay Walker Returns to the Practice Field
Head coach Matt LaFleur added that he believes linebacker Quay Walker will return to the practice field on Wednesday.
During Tuesday's practice, Walker was seen walking off the field which started to catch the attention of the fanbase. But LaFleur stated that Walker was dealing with some exhaustion coming out of Saturday’s preseason game and there was immense heat in Green Bay on Aug. 13. That led to him stepping off the field.
The Packers have a padded practice on Aug. 14 before they travel to Colorado to take on the Denver Broncos on Aug. 18.
Walker is one of the glue guys in the middle of the field. The Georgia product is an athletic difference-maker who has the instincts to find the ball.
Last season, the 24-year-old finished with a team-high 118 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, three pass deflections, and 2.5 sacks.
Getting Walker back on the field is a major sign of relief with the regular season just three weeks away.
