"Pretty much I practiced, and I felt good, but as the week progressed I felt like it wasn't getting better the way I thought it was," Walker said. "I just felt like I wasn't going to be myself, and I didn't think I was 100 percent to protect myself on the field. We had a conversation, the team and I, and we felt it was best that I try and get it fixed and get ready for the future."

On Tuesday night, to celebrate the holiday season, local children from Napier Elementary joined Walker for a holiday shopping spree at a local sporting goods store. Walker also hosted the kids for a pizza party, where he surprised them about their shopping spree and Woom Bikes USA giveaway.

It was Walker's 7th Holiday Night Out in partnership with the Delanie Walker Gives Back Foundation.
