Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (concussion) returned to practice with the team on Wednesday. He is scheduled to see a doctor on Thursday at which point he hopes to be cleared to play on Sunday, according to The Tennessean's Jim Wyatt.
Delanie Walker practices on Wednesday, hopes to make fantasy start on Sunday

Fantasy Impact: Walker was unable to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. Although he didn't practice on Wednesday, the practice was considered pretty easy going.
The Titans are pretty much evaluating talent for years to come as far as the rest of the season is concerned, so there probably isn’t a huge rush to get Walker back to a full workload even if he does play on Sunday.
That said, the way that football culture is, fantasy owners can bet that Walker will do everything in his power to try and suit up. Of course he won’t be able to have the doctor doesn’t clear him on Thursday, but right now his prospects look positive.
Fantasy owners should stay aware of practice reports later in the week before thinking about starting Walker.
