David Walker impresses at Buccaneers training camp ahead of preseason
Summary

David Walker, a linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has been a standout at training camp, showcasing a strong recovery from his ACL injury. As of August 9, 2026, he has logged a would-be sack in eight consecutive practices. This season is crucial for Todd Bowles’s defense, which has struggled with pass rush in recent years. With the Buccaneers adding new talent to their edge rush, including first-round pick Reuben Bain Jr., Walker’s resurgence could provide an important boost to their pass-rushing capabilities. The Buccaneers face the New York Jets in their first preseason game on August 14.
