Jalon Walker carted off at Falcons practice

The Falcons will be hoping for some positive news about linebacker Jalon Walker’s condition on Tuesday afternoon.

Walker was carted off the field during practice at training camp. Reporters at the workout said that Walker appeared to suffer a left leg injury and that other players took a knee as he was helped to the cart.

Walker was a first-round pick last year and he finished his rookie season with 36 tackles, 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.

The Falcons drafted Walker and James Pearce in the 2025 first round to bolster their pass rush. Pearce is facing a possible suspension as a result of a domestic violence arrest this offseason, so bad news on Walker could leave the Falcons without both players for the start of the season.
