Walford reportedly suffered a "big gash" on his knee, according to ESPN's Adam Caplan. He is expected to miss the entire offseason program, but he should return for training camp.

Among the 28 tight ends to see at least 50 targets in 2015, Walford ranked 12th with 0.62 Reception Net Expected Points per target. It was an encouraging season for a rookie tight end, where it's not uncommon for even promising prospects to struggle in their first season.
