Walker caught one of his two targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Saints.
Walker saw 17 of the Ravens' 58 offensive snaps in Sunday's contest. The wide receiver also saw eight special-teams snaps. Walker saw nearly half as many offensive snaps as LaJohntay Wester (31), even though Zay Flowers (hamstring) was unavailable. The 2024 fourth-rounder sees most of his usage as a deep threat, but he appears hard-pressed to expand his role much beyond that of an occasional deep threat.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Should contribute on offense
Rotowire
With Zay Flowers (hamstring) listed as doubtful, Walker should have a role on offense in Sunday's game against the Saints, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Walker missed Week 1 with a groin injury and now joins an offense that's likely without Flowers and won't have Ja'Kobi Lane (IR - wrist) for at least the next four weeks. Veteran starter Rashod Bateman is the de facto No. 1 receiver, with Walker, LaJohntay Wester, Chris Moore and Elijah Sarratt all candidates for significant playing time as well. Walker was in competition with Lane this summer for the No. 3 receiver job alongside Flowers and Bateman.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Walker (groin) was a full participant at the Ravens' practice Wednesday.
Walker appears to have fully recovered from the groin injury that forced him to miss the team's 41-23 win over the Colts in Week 1. The wide receiver will be a welcomed addition Week 2 versus the Saints after rookie Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Walker (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Walker logged limited sessions throughout Week 1 as he attempted to clear himself of a groin injury before Sunday's game. While the wide receiver could not avoid an injury designation, Walker still may suit up for Sunday's contest if coach Jesse Minter gives the green light. If Walker is ruled out, Elijah Sarratt will take over as the No. 4 option behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Ja'Kobi Lane.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Remains limited Thursday
Rotowire
Walker (groin) was listed as a limited participant at the Ravens' walkthrough practice Thursday.
Walker continues to nurse a groin injury ahead of Week 1, logging his second straight limited session Thursday. The wide receiver will have one more chance to notch a full practice Friday before the team takes on Indianapolis in the regular-season opener Sunday. If Walker is unavailable in Week 1, rookie wideout Ja'Kobi Lane could see an uptick in opportunities in his regular-season debut.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Snags three passes in preseason finale
Rotowire
Walker caught three of five targets for 22 yards in Friday's 41-3 preseason win over the Commanders.
The five targets tied for the team lead on the night, but Walker didn't do much with the volume as three other Ravens had more receiving yards, and none of the team's three passing TDs went his way. Third-round rookie Ja'Kobi Lane has been the star of training camp and seems to have the No. 3 wideout job locked down, leaving Walker competing with the likes of Elijah Sarratt, Chris Moore and LaJohntay Wester just to find a spot on the 53-man roster.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Impressive spring showing
Rotowire
Walker made a strong impression during the Ravens' spring practices, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.
The 2024 fourth-round pick reportedly stood out as a field-stretcher during OTAs and mandatory minicamp, aiding his chances of earning a role behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman (personal). Baltimore added wide receivers Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt in the 2026 NFL Draft, along with rookie tight ends Matthew Hibner and Josh Cuevas, creating significant competition for targets. Walker has nonetheless flashed big-play ability in limited opportunities, turning seven career receptions into 157 yards and three touchdowns, providing reason for excitement if he does manage to make a leap in Year 3.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Not playing in Week 14
Rotowire
Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Though Walker didn't take an injury designation into Sunday after a groin issue limited his participation in a pair of practices this week, the second-year wideout will hit the inactive list for the first time since Week 10. The Ravens will go with DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace and LaJohntay Wester as their depth receivers behind starters Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Downgrades to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Walker (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Walker downgraded to a limited participant Thursday after logging a full practice Wednesday. The diminishing participation indicates a setback and puts the wide receiver's chances of playing in Sunday's divisional matchup with the Steelers into question. The 24-year-old will have one more chance to upgrade his practice participation before the Ravens release their final Week 14 injury report.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Blanked on Thanksgiving Day
Rotowire
Walker did not record a catch on two targets during Baltimore's 32-14 loss to Cincinnati on Thursday.
Walker played just 17 snaps on offense during Thursday's loss, with his decreased playing time corresponding with the return of Rashod Bateman from a two-game absence. Walker has caught one pass or less in seven of eight regular-season games, and both of his receiving touchdowns came in Week 2 against the Browns. The second-year wideout is unlikely to see consistent work in the Ravens' offense unless Bateman, Zay Flowers or DeAndre Hopkins were to miss time.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Makes most of lone target
Rotowire
Walker had a 30-yard reception on his lone target Sunday against the Jets.
The second-year wideout saw a season-high 23 snaps as Baltimore looked to find a spark in Rashod Bateman's absence. Walker was only targeted once, but converted it into the Ravens' longest offensive play from scrimmage Sunday. He has caught all four of his targets this season for 90 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Walker's overall sample is too small to draw hard conclusions, but he has produced when called upon, dating back to his rookie season. Pending Bateman's status for Thursday's game against the Bengals, Walker could have a similar role in Week 13. If Bateman (ankle) is back, however, Walker appears to be at risk of being a healthy scratch.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Practices in full
Rotowire
Walker (oblique) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Walker wasn't able to suit up Week 6 against the Rams, but now coming off Baltimore's bye he appears back to full health. He figures to resume handling his usual depth role at wide receiver during Sunday's home game against the Bears. Across five regular-season appearances so far, Walker has secured all three of his targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns, with both scores having come Week 2 versus Cleveland.

Walker (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Walker was active in Week 5 versus Houston despite the injury, but it still seems to be bothering him as Baltimore starts its new week of practice. He'll have two more opportunities to practice in full before the Ravens release their final injury report of the week Friday.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Draws questionable tag for Week 5
Rotowire
Walker (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Walker popped up on Wednesday's practice report as a DNP due to an oblique injury. Even with the questionable tag, he was able to end the week on a strong note with a full practice Friday, which has him trending in the right direction for Sunday's AFC contest. Walker has three catches on as many targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns across four regular-season games.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Returns to practice Thursday
Rotowire
Walker (oblique) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Walker is recovering from an oblique injury that he likely sustained in Week 4 against the Chiefs. He has opened the week with a DNP-LP practice log, and Friday's injury report will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Texans on Sunday. The 2024 fourth-rounder has three catches on as many targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns through the first four games of the regular season.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: DNP with oblique injury
Rotowire
Walker (oblique) did not practice Wednesday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
It's a new injury for Walker, who had his snaps cut in Week 4 against the Chiefs, as he played just four offensive snaps after having 20 total in Weeks 2 and 3. Walker is operating as a depth wideout and special teams player for the Ravens.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Two catches, two touchdowns
Rotowire
Walker caught both of his targets for 26 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Browns.
The second-year wideout has three career receptions, all of which have gone for touchdowns. That's efficiency. Walker played 13 snaps Sunday after not getting on the field on offense in the opener, with his first TD coming early in the third quarter when Lamar Jackson found him in the back of the end zone on fourth down. His second came early in the fourth quarter to put the Ravens up 27-20. Baltimore has a crowded receiver room, and it seems as though Walker, Tylan Wallace and DeAndre Hopkins are all battling for the No. 3 job. Walker is likely third in the pecking order among that group at the moment, but if he keeps capitalizing on his opportunities, more playing time could be in store.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Looks good in joint practice
Rotowire
Walker made some impressive catches with the second-string offense during Tuesday's joint practice with the Colts, Giana Han and Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner report.
After missing a few days with a soft-tissue injury, Walker is back in action and continuing his push for a depth role. Reports out of Baltimore camp suggest the 2024 fourth-round pick is having a nice summer, although he'll still have a hard time moving any higher than fourth on the depth chart before Week 1 -- behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Walker (undisclosed) is practicing Sunday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Walker was held out of practice Saturday with what was deemed a soft-tissue injury, but the issue appears to have been minor. That's great news for Walker, who has had a good camp so far and is pushing for Baltimore's No. 4 wideout role behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins. While Walker is in uniform Sunday, he's working off to the side and not taking part in team drills, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun, so he may need another day or two to get back to full participation.

Ravens' Devontez Walker: Dealing with soft-tissue injury
Rotowire
Walker didn't practice Saturday due to a soft-tissue injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Walker has had a strong training camp and has emerged as a leading candidate to open the campaign as Baltimore's No. 4 receiver. It's not yet clear if he'll need to miss additional practices, but head coach John Harbaugh said Saturday that the wideout has put on "a lot of mileage" in camp, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun. Walker played in nine regular-season games as a rookie last year, recording one catch for a 21-yard touchdown while also contributing on special teams.
