Detroit Lions notes: Position coaches offer lofty praise for Walker, Hooker, Barrett

Allen Park — Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker vigorously attacked his rehab after tearing his Achilles last season, meeting his own accelerated timeline to return to the field. And you would have been hard-pressed to tell he had suffered the devastating injury with the way he moved and played throughout training camp and the preseason.

Walker's performance drew praise from coach Dan Campbell last month.

“Yeah, I think Tracy has done a good job, I do," Campbell said. "I don’t feel like there’s a deficiency with the injury. I feel like he’s come back physically.
