The Arizona Cardinals are gearing up for the upcoming training camp, set to begin on July 22. Among the players preparing for the season is linebacker Mykal Walker, who was signed as an unrestricted free agent on March 14, after spending time with the Atlanta Falcons and the Washington Commanders. A fourth-round draft pick in 2020, Walker has started 20 of the 74 games in his career, with a notable performance in the postseason last year.

In the 2024 season, Walker had limited action, playing 77 defensive snaps and contributing 10 tackles. However, his impact was felt more on special teams, where he played a significant role with 344 snaps and recorded two fumble recoveries. His one-year contract with the Cardinals is valued at $1 million, and his versatility will be crucial as the team evaluates its roster ahead of the regular season.
