The injuries are reportedly severe, as Walker reportedly was not wearing a helmet. Following the crash he was quickly slated to undergo surgery:

Walker was a fourth round selection out of Texas Southern in the 2015 draft. While he spent his first season almost exclusively on special teams, he was expected to compete for the nickelback slot this year.
