Walker (knee) is expected to receive full medical clearance next week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

ANALYSIS
Walker missed the entire 2016 season after tearing his ACL last August. The former Bronco should be fully healthy in time for training camp, which will help the free agent's case for landing a contract from a team.

2010

The veteran plugger will be the first in line to try and help replace the departed Malik Jackson. Listed on the team's first depth chart as a starter opposite Derek Wolfe, Walker will likely share snaps with rookie second-rounder Adam Gotsis and veteran Jared Crick, but has shown inside play-making ability of his own. Walker has generated 12 sacks over the past five seasons despite primarily serving in back-up roles

Walker, who signed a three-year, $13 million contract with the Chiefs this offseason, is the a candidate to help replace Tyson Jackson at defense end. Walker -- who can play outside or inside -- recorded 40 tackles and three sacks for the Raiders last season. He's a solid run-stopper and should be a good fit for the Chiefs’ 3-4 defensive scheme.

Walker is expected to start along the defensive line for Oakland, after recording career highs in tackles (32) and sacks (3.0) in his final season in Atlanta.

Walker will serve as a second-string defensive tackle in 2012. He'll see limited action when he spells a starter, but he won't see consistent time unless an injury strike.

Walker will provide depth at defensive tackle in 2011.

Walker will backup Jonathan Babineaux and Peria Jerry at defensive tackle.
