Austin Walter (illness) is out for the rest of today.

Walter did not have any carries before leaving Week 14 against the Saints. Hopefully this isn't anything too serious and he's feeling better soon.

The 49ers promoted Austin Walter to the active roster.

Walter noticeably showed juice as a returner last Thursday night, so it'll be interesting to see if he ends up getting some offensive run if Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Tevin Coleman (knee) remain out. For now, Walter isn't worth picking up in redraft leagues.

The Giants promoted Austin Walter from the practice squad.

With Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Wayne Gallman (concussion) out for tonight's Week 6 game against the Patriots, the Giants needed another player at running back. Walter is an undrafted rookie from Rice that signed with the Niners earlier this year, and he'll be an interesting player to watch as he gets his first opportunity on an NFL active roster on Thursday Night Football.
