Walden was arrested Friday on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend at their apartment near Green Bay. He was released Monday on a $1,000 signature bond.

Authorities say Walden’s girlfriend was treated for a head laceration at a Green Bay hospital.

Brown County District Attorney John Zakowski says Walden’s girlfriend has changed her story. He says they have to conduct more interviews before he decides if charges will be filed.

Walden, 26, started all 11 games this season and played in the team’s 27-15 Thanksgiving Day victory over the Lions. He is scheduled to return to court Dec. 7.
