  Draft Scout by Conference









  The Virginia football team won't have running back Amaad Foston this season, after he suffered a torn ACL, but the Cavaliers did get another back in the fold Monday. Ronnie Walker, who suffered a leg injury in the spring, returned to practice Monday and is expected to be cleared to play this season, UVa running backs coach Keith Gaither said after the workout. "Just kind of see how he progresses on," said offensive coordinator Des Kitchings. "If he gets to the point where he can help us and not be a liability to him and us, then we're going to use him. We'll see where that goes."

Walker, a 5-foot-10, 218-pounder who transferred to UVa from Indiana before the 2020 season, has been ahead of schedule returning from surgery and was projected to be cleared sometime in September. Despite practicing Monday, Walker isn't likely to play in the team's opener against Richmond, but the fifth-year senior could still be a factor early in the season. "That means he's going to be cleared for the Richmond game. It doesn't mean he's going to play," said Gaither. "But he's going to be cleared, which means we can start getting him prepared for the stretch, especially conference play." - Charlottesville Daily Progress
