Walker, who suffered a quadriceps injury that limited him to three games in 2022, returns to lead the Browns' defense as its signal caller. Prior to the injury, he'd been a durable presence in the middle of defenses, either with the Colts or Browns. Cleveland added nothing to its linebacking crew via free agency or the draft, opting to stick with a group that had four members finish 2022 on injured reserve. If healthy, Walker should hit triple-digit tackles.
