Friday's injury report: Walker gets back to work

Delanie Walker missed a significant amount of preparation for Sunday’s game at Atlanta.

The Tennessee Titans’ leading receiver won’t miss the game, though.

Walker took part in Friday’s practice session and did enough that coach Mike Vrabel said he “would imagine” the veteran tight end would face the Falcons on Sunday. It was a positive development after a knee injury forced Walker to sit out all of practice Wednesday and Thursday.

“That’s a credit to his veteran presence and leadership to try to do everything he can to get to the game,” Vrabel said. “We understand there’s guys that we’re going to have manage throughout the week, and he’s one of those guys.”

The only player Vrabel ruled out for Sunday at Atlanta was offensive lineman Kevin Pamphile (knee). Pamphile was expected to open the season as the starter at right guard but has yet to play because of the issue that arose days before the Week 1 game at Cleveland.

The Falcons, similarly, had one player who did not practice and was ruled out for Sunday, running back Kenjon Barner (concussion/knee). Atlanta ended the week with just five players on the injury report, three fewer than Wednesday, when the week's first injury report was released.
