The Washington Commanders have bolstered their defense by signing veteran defensive end DeMarcus Walker ahead of their international clash with the Miami Dolphins in Spain. This signing comes as the Commanders prepare for their Week 11 matchup following a tough loss.
After a challenging game in Week 10, where the Commanders struggled, they are looking to turn their fortunes around against a Dolphins team that is also facing its own difficulties. Despite the Dolphins” recent upset victory over the Buffalo Bills, they remain a team that the Commanders can defeat if they execute well on both offense and defense.
Walker, who has had a productive career since being drafted in the first round by the Denver Broncos in 2017, joins the team with a wealth of experience. He has played as both a rotational player and a full-time starter, most recently spending two seasons with the Chicago Bears. Although he has not yet played this season after being released by the Bears in February, the Commanders are hoping he can provide immediate assistance to their defensive line.
The addition of Walker is particularly timely given the suspension of Daron Payne for his actions during a game against the Detroit Lions. With a need for depth along the defensive line, Walker”s presence could be crucial as the Commanders strive to improve their performance in the upcoming game.
Over his eight years in the NFL, Walker has made a significant impact, recording 191 total tackles, 71 quarterback hits, and 26.5 sacks across 100 career games. His experience and skill set make him a valuable addition to a Commanders defense that is looking to regain its footing.
As the Commanders settle into Madrid, they remain focused on finding a way to secure a much-needed victory against the Dolphins. With Walker on board, they hope to enhance their defensive capabilities and challenge Miami effectively.
