Very Minor Injury For David Walker
June 11th, 2025
Rookie edge rusher David Walker.
Joe wouldn’t normally shake because a fourth-round draft pick was sidelined during a June minicamp practice, but David Walker isn’t the typical pick.
The Bucs celebrated in a big way when they grabbed the University of Central Arkansas edge rusher in Round 4. Heck, outside linebackers coach Larry Foote crowed that Walker is a Super Bowl piece.
Today, Walker was out for a second consecutive practice and veteran edge rusher Haason Reddick told media that the rookie is “going through” something “health-wise.”
That got Joe’s antennae up, but there is no reason for alarm.
Walker’s injury was described to Joe as a very minor muscle strain and he likely would play if there was a game on Sunday.
The team is being very strict during this minicamp with any player that has the smallest of injuries. Smartly, the Bucs want everyone leaving town for vacation healthy — and healthy for training camp in July.
