The recent defensive revival in Detroit has come without one of the team’s leaders being on the field. Safety Tracy Walker has been out since Week 3, when the veteran tore his Achilles in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Walker remains engaged with the team and aggressively rehabbing his surgically repaired leg. Based on his post on Saturday, it seems like things are going very well for Walker some three months out from surgery.
Walker wrote,
“Also for my people who want to know how my recovery going. I’m ahead of schedule on when I come back from my injury so stay tuned!”
From the Lions official social media account:
Getting Walker back at full speed in 2023 would be a great boon for the youthful secondary. He has two years left on his three-year, $25 million contract with the Lions.
