Falcons edge rusher Jalon Walker was carted off the practice field on Tuesday with a leg injury that sources fear could be a torn ACL, per reporting from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Steve Wyche.
Walker, Atlanta's first-round pick in the 2025 draft, was injured during the team's practice session. The Falcons were hoping for positive news about his condition on Tuesday afternoon, according to multiple outlets, though no official diagnosis has been announced.
The potential injury comes as a significant blow to Atlanta's defense. One report noted the team could be down two starting edge rushers for at least part of the 2026 season, though the exact context for that statement was not detailed in available coverage.
