It is no secret that a healthy Delanie Walker is good for the Tennessee Titans. The veteran tight end, unfortunately, missed pretty much the entire 2018-19 campaign after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins, a game that the Titans would lose en route to missing the postseason by a single game in the end.

However, despite his age, the soon-to-be 35-year-old Walker continues to progress in his rehabilitation from the aforementioned setback.

“I feel like I’m in the 85 percent range,” Walker told The Tennessean on Tuesday afternoon following the team's second practice of the spring session. “Today I felt fast getting out of my breaks, and I was catching the ball well. Always a good sign.”

When at full strength, Walker is no doubt one of the most prolific pass catchers that the NFL has to offer from the tight end position and typically serves as quite the reliable target for Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota.

“As a team we talked about [participating in spring practices] and this is the plan they’ve got for me,” Walker added, via The Tennessean. “I’m happy with the plan. [I] felt good. I felt like I’m getting back to my old self. Missed a lot of football. Glad to be back out here and have the opportunity to run around with my teammates.”

The Titans have notably strung together three consecutive 9-7 regular season efforts, though Tennessee has managed to reach the postseason just once during that stretch due in part to the increasingly more competitive AFC South division.
