Former Falcons linebacker Mykal Walker has had a tough couple of months since he was released by the Atlanta Falcons during training camp. Walker was claimed off waivers by the Chicago Bears but didn’t make the 53-man roster.
After that, it was on to Las Vegas for a short stint with the Raiders. Finally, the former fourth-round pick landed in Pittsburgh and was signed to the Steelers’ 53-man roster this past week.
Walker is in line to start for the Steelers in Week 11, per The Athletic’s Michael DeFabo.
Mykal Walker, who was claimed off the Raiders P squad on Oct. 30, is taking first-team reps in warmups alongside Elandon Roberts in the base defense.
