Coen spoke at length about the various ways they could replace Walker if he can't play. They'll lean on veteran defensive lineman Dawuane Smoot as well as rookies Danny Striggow and BJ Green.

"We're going to need those guys again this week to continue to elevate and step up," Coen told reporters. "Just go be creative, go be yourselves. We see it every day with BJ and Danny on the show team. Really looking forward to them taking another step in their development."
