Top Jalon Walker News

  • Falcons' Jalon Walker: Relatively quiet Sunday

    Walker recorded four tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss versus the Panthers.

    Walker logged 3.0 sacks over the two games prior to Sunday's contest, but he was blanked in that category in Week 11. He'll be hoping to get back in the sack column in a Week 12 matchup against the division-rival Saints.

  • Falcons' Jalon Walker: Notches sack vs. Colts

    Walker tallied six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Atlanta's loss to Indianapolis on Sunday.

    Walker recorded one of the team's seven sacks of Daniel Jones during the loss. The rookie first-round pick has now racked up 3.0 sacks across his last two outings and will look to keep up this high level of production during the team's Week 11 matchup versus the Panthers.

  • Falcons' Jalon Walker: Role ticks up

    Walker recorded five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, two tackles for loss and a pass defensed in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.

    Walker saw his role expand, logging a career-best 65 percent and 44 total defensive snaps. He responded with two sacks -- his first since Week 2 -- while also racking up five tackles. Walker could be in for a big second half of his rookie season, particularly if the Falcons continue to give him more responsibility.

  • Falcons' Jalon Walker: Returning to action Sunday

    Walker (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Walker missed the past two games due to a groin injury but will return to action Sunday after logging a trio of limited sessions during Week 9 prep. With Leonard Floyd (hamstring) also available, Walker may be in a rotation with Floyd, Arnold Ebiketie and fellow rookie James Pearce.

  • Falcons' Jalon Walker: Could return Sunday

    Walker (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    The 2025 first-round pick from Georgia missed Atlanta's last two games due to a groin injury, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to return Sunday. Walker has tallied 14 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, through his first five NFL games. If he's active in Week 9, he'll likely operate as one of the Falcons' top edge rushers.

  • Falcons' Jalon Walker: Returns to practice

    Walker (groin) was a limited participant in Atlanta's practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Walker managed to return to practice Wednesday after missing the last two games due to a groin injury. If the rookie first-round pick is able to suit up for Sunday's matchup versus New England, he should return to his role as one of the team's starting outside linebackers.

  • Falcons' Jalon Walker: Out for Week 8

    Walker (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    The 2025 first-round pick from Georgia is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a groin injury sustained in the Week 6 win over the Bills. Walker has appeared in five games this season, recording 14 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. While he's sidelined Sunday, expect James Pearce to operate as the Falcons' lone reserve edge rusher.

  • Falcons' Jalon Walker: Doesn't practice Thursday

    Walker (groin) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

    Walker picked up a groin injury during the Falcons' Week 6 win over the Bills, which prevented him from playing against the 49ers in Week 7. He's missed the first two practices of the week, so he'll have to log at least a limited practice Friday to give himself a chance to play against Miami on Sunday. James Pearce, Leonard Floyd and Arnold Ebiketie would continue to see more snaps at outside linebacker if Walker is not cleared to play Week 8.

  • Falcons' Jalon Walker: Estimated to miss practice

    Walker (groin) was estimated to be a nonparticipant Wednesday, but the team did not hold an official practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Walker didn't practice at all last week and missed Sunday's loss to San Francisco due to a groin injury. His DNP status to begin Week 8 prep isn't promising, but the rookie linebacker will have two more chances to return to practice this week. When healthy, Walker has been logging around half of the Falcons' defensive snaps while working in a rotational role.

  • Falcons' Jalon Walker: Ruled out for Week 7

    Walker (groin) won't play Sunday against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Walker will sit out due to a groin injury he suffered in Monday's win over the Bills. The rookie first-round pick's next chance to take the field will come in Week 8 against the Dolphins. Walker has one sack among his 14 tackles (eight solo).

  • Falcons' Jalon Walker: Deemed DNP for walkthrough

    Walker (groin) was estimated as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Walker logged his usual allotment of snaps versus Buffalo on Monday Night Football, but he appears to have also picked up a groin injury. The Falcons held a walkthrough Wednesday, so more clarity about his status could come when the team returns to regular practices. Walker typically logs somewhere around a 50 percent defensive snap share for the Falcons.
