Commanders' Mykal Walker: Goes to Washington
Walker signed a contract with the Commanders on Tuesday.
Walker suited up eight times for the Steelers in 2023, recording 33 tackles (21 solo) and two passes defended, including one interception. It was a reduced role from his 2022 campaign with the Falcons, which saw him cross the century mark in tackles. He'll likely be a depth option in Washington's linebacker corps this season.

Steelers' Mykal Walker: Joins active roster
The Steelers signed Walker off the practice squad to their active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.
The 26-year-old was added to ensure depth at inside linebacker, as the team has already lost Kwon Alexander (Achilles), Cole Holcomb (knee) and Chapelle Russell (undisclosed) to injuries thus far. Walker's last in-game action came with the Falcons in 2022, when he started 12 games and tallied 107 total tackles.

Mykal Walker: Let go by Chicago
The Bears waived Walker on Tuesday, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Walker appeared in 16 games with the Falcons during the 2022 campaign but was waived by the team in mid-August. He landed with the Bears a day later but was unable to secure a spot on Chicago's 53-man roster. Given his role with Atlanta last season, it wouldn't be surprising to see him find an opportunity elsewhere.
