News

  • Lands on injured reserve

    Walter (undisclosed) was placed on IR on Thursday.

    Analysis: Walter was working to earn a depth role in the Raiders' backfield after joining the team on a reserve/future deal in January. The 26-year-old hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2021 with the Jets, and now he'll likely have to wait a while longer. Unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team, Walter will be forced to miss the entirety of the 2023 campaign.

  • Waived by Jets

    The Jets waived Walter on Friday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Walter finished the 2021 campaign with 26 rushes for 101 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for nine yards across four appearances. It's possible New York opts to bring the 25-year-old back on its practice squad, but its running back room is now crowed with the addition of second-round pick Breece Hall.

  • Gets 28 touches in 2021

    Walter rushed 26 times for 101 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for nine yards over four appearances in 2021.

    Analysis: Walter spent most of the season on the Jets' practice squad but was signed to the 53-man roster down the stretch after the team battled some injuries in the backfield. The 25-year-old Rice product has another year left on his contract with the Jets, but Walter will be fighting an uphill battle to make the roster in camp.

  • Inactive in Week 18

    Walter is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: As is La'Mical Perine, which sets the stage for Michael Carter, Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson to handle the Jets' backfield duties in Week 18.

  • Gets 14 carries in Week 17

    Walter rushed 14 times for 49 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 28-24 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Walter led the team in carries after Michael Carter (concussion) exited early, but Ty Johnson got the nod at the goal line in the third quarter and delivered a one-yard touchdown. If neither Carter nor Tevin Coleman (illness) plays in Week 18 against the Bills, Walter should retain a prominent role on the ground, though finding running room won't be easy against a stout Buffalo front.

  • Healthy scratch Sunday

    Walter (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Walter had two carries for 12 yards last week against Miami as the No. 3 tailback, but he's a healthy scratch for Week 16. Ty Johnson will take on that role Sunday with Michael Carter and Tevin Coleman set to lead the backfield once again.

  • Two carries in Week 15

    Walter rushed twice for 12 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Walter barely saw the field, as Michael Carter (ankle) and Tevin Coleman split work in the Jets' backfield. As long as New York's top two running backs stay healthy, there won't be much work to go around for Walter, but each of the top two options has dealt with injuries this season; Carter just came off IR this week and Coleman missed last week's game due to a concussion.

  • Not on injury report

    Walter (illness) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Walter was active for last week's win over the Saints but didn't take the field due to an illness. However, it appears as though he'll be available Sunday against Miami. While the 25-year-old was expected to take on a key role against New Orleans, he's unlikely to see much playing time against the Dolphins since Tevin Coleman (concussion) and Michael Carter (ankle) are both expected to return to the field this week.

  • Out for remainder of contest

    Walter is dealing with an illness and has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Saints, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: That explains why Walter, though listed as active, had not played a snap in a contest he seemed poised to play a key role in. With Tevin Coleman (concussion) already out, next up for the Jets' Week 14 backfield work is the duo of La'Mical Perine and Ty Johnson.

  • Should play more with Coleman out

    Walter is expected to play a significant role Sunday against the Saints, as Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports that Tevin Coleman (concussion) won't play.

    Analysis: Walter and Ty Johnson are New York's top two healthy running backs, with La'Mical Perine also on hand. Though Walter probably is the team's preferred option on the ground out of the three, finding running room won't be easy against a stout Saints front that's allowing just 96.4 rushing yards per game.

  • Signed to 53-man roster

    Walter was signed by the Jets off their practice squad Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: After top back Michael Carter (ankle) landed on injured reserve, Walter was elevated from the practice squad ahead of each of the Jets' last two games to bolster depth at the position. Though Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson have worked ahead of him in both contests, Walter was active ahead of La'Mical Perine as the No. 3 back in Weeks 12 and 13, collecting 10 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown plus two receptions for nine yards. Walter will now have a permanent home on the 53-man roster, filling…read more

  • Back to Jets' practice squad

    Walter reverted to the practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: The running back had one carry for two yards and two catches for nine yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles after being elevated from the practice squad for the game. Walter will now head back down prior to the team's Week 14 matchup with the Saints.

  • Three touches against Philly

    Walter rushed once for two yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 33-18 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Elevated from the practice squad for a second consecutive week, Walter saw limited work while Tevin Coleman dominated touches in the Jets' backfield with Michael Carter (ankle) on the shelf. In addition to his three touches, Walter also pitched the ball back to Zach Wilson on a flea flicker that turned into a 14-yard pass to Ryan Griffin. After elevating Walter twice, the Jets will have to sign him to the active roster if they want to use him again in game action this season.

  • Back to active roster

    Walter was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

    Analysis: Walter surprisingly saw nine carries in Week 12 after being elevated from the practice squad in the absence of Michael Carter (ankle). He's now set for another chance to produce, though he'll likely remain behind at least Tevin Coleman in what could be a three-back committee in New York for a Week 13 matchup against the Eagles.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Walter reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: The running back was able to rush for 38 yards and a touchdown after being elevated to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 12 contest against the Texans, but he's back on the practice squad. Assuming he's elevated again Sunday against the Eagles, he'll join Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson in the Jets backfield.

  • Makes most of opportunity with TD

    Walter rushed nine times for 38 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch his only target in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Walter was elevated from the practice squad with Michael Carter (ankle) on IR, and he worked as part of a three-headed backfield committee with Tevin Coleman (16 carries for 67 yards) and Ty Johnson (six carries for 42 yards). Given an opportunity from the two-yard line late in the first half, Waller made the most of it by powering into the end zone. He'll likely be elevated again in Week 13 against the Eagles

  • Elevated for Week 12

    Walter was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Walter was signed to the Jets' practice squad Oct. 5 but has not been active at any point. That will be set to change in Week 12 for a matchup against the Texans, as he'll have the chance to serve in a depth role out of the backfield with Michael Carter (ankle) sidelined.

  • Added to Jets' practice squad

    Walter was signed to the Jets' practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old was previously waived by the Jets in August. He appeared in four games with the 49ers in 2020, but he only registered one rushing attempt and caught one ball.

  • Agrees to injury settlement

    The Jets waived Walter (undisclosed) from IR with an injury settlement Thursday, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: Walter reverted to IR after going unclaimed on waivers last week, but his 2021 season won't officially have to come to an end. When healthy, the 25-year-old will be eligible to search for a depth role elsewhere.

  • Lands on injured reserve

    Walter (undisclosed) cleared waivers and reverted to the Jets' injured reserve Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Walter was waived/injured by New York with the unspecified injury Tuesday, and he'll shift to injured reserve after passing through the waiver wire unclaimed.

  • Waived by Jets

    Walker (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Jets on Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Walker was claimed off waiver by the Jets in May and was working as a depth tailback in camp. He appeared in four games for the 49ers last season, rushing once for three yards and catching one pass for 27 yards. The 25-year-old will revert to New York's injured reserve if he goes through waivers unclaimed.

  • Claimed by Jets

    The Jets claimed Walter on Thursday.

    Analysis: Walter, who was waived by San Francisco earlier this week, rejoins coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur in New York. His familiarity with the scheme could increase Walter's chances of earning a depth role with the Jets.

  • Departs San Francisco

    The 49ers waived Walter on Wednesday.

    Analysis: Walter had one carry for three yards and secured his lone target for 27 yards in four appearances last season. Back in 2019, he suited up for a single game for the Giants.

  • Inks one-year deal

    Walter signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Walter was set to be an exclusive-rights free agent in March, but he's locked down security for the 2021 campaign. The 24-year-old suited up in four games with the Niners last year, rushing once for three yards and catching his lone target for 27 yards.

  • Removed from COVID list

    Walter was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Walter has been residing on the reserve list since Dec. 17, but he'll now have an opportunity to rejoin the 49ers' running back stable heading into a Week 17 matchup against Seattle. The 24-year-old has fulfilled most of his duties on special teams this season, fielding 33 of his 45 total snaps in that department over three game appearances.

  • Shifts to COVID-19 list

    The 49ers placed Walter on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Walter was placed on the list due to either testing positive for the virus, or coming into close contact with someone who did. Walter could still have a chance to play in Sunday's game against the Cowboys, but he'll need to produce two negative tests 24 hours apart to gain clearance.

  • Won't suit up for MNF

    Walter (coach's decision) is inactive for San Francisco's Monday night matchup against the Bills.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old has made three appearances since Week 9, but with Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman, Jeff Wilson and Jerick McKinnon all active for Monday night's game, he'll fail to garner active status. Walter has collected 30 scrimmage yards over two offensive touches, adding three kick-return attempts for 64 yards this season.

  • Logs 12 snaps on offense

    Walter had one carry for three yards and caught his lone target for 27 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Walter was signed from the practice squad for the second week in a row, but he was able to actually get involved in the game plan for the first time this season. The 24-year-old received the first touches of his pro career Sunday, so it's tough to tell what the 49ers have in the youngster. He did show soft hands during his time at Rice, so he could serve a third-down role even if either of Raheem Mostert (ankle) or Tevin Coleman (knee) are healed up after the upcoming bye week. Both of the…read more

  • Back with Niners

    The 49ers signed Walter from their practice squad Wednesday, Keiana Martin of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Walter was elevated to the active roster ahead of last week's game against the Packers, and he appears in line for another appearance for Week 10. Both Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Tevin Coleman (knee) are not expected to play until at least Week 12, so that leaves Jerick McKinnon, JaMycal Hasty and likely Walter to man the running back corps for the next few weeks.
