After breaking his jaw back on Christmas Eve against the Seattle Seahawks,, San Francisco 49ers tight end Delanie Walker is chomping at the bit (no pun intended) to get back out on the field with his teammates against the New York Giants in the NFC Championship game this Sunday.
Walker took some time with the media in the locker room on Thursday, discussing the likelihood of his playing this week, the probability of re-fracturing his jaw, and how he's been staying prepared and in shape with a non-performance injury like his.
Delanie recovered very quickly from this injury, showing his grit and determination to get back and help out his team. With Vernon Davis having the big day that he had against the Saints, coupled with the return of the dangerous Walker, the boys in Blue could have some TE nightmares comes Sunday.
