Falcons' Jalon Walker: Moves to injured reserve
The Falcons officially placed Walker (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
Walker was carted off the field at the end of Tuesday's practice, and he was diagnosed with a torn ACL in his left knee a day later, thereby putting an end to his second campaign. He made an impact as a 2025 first-round pick last year, totaling 36 tackles, including 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one pass defense in 15 regular-season games. The likes of Cameron Thomas, Samson Ebukam and Azeez Ojulari are poised for more pass-rush reps alongside starter James Pearce this season.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: ACL tear confirmed
Walker has been diagnosed with an ACL tear, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
As suspected, Walker will need surgery and is set to miss the entire season. Coming off a 5.5-sack rookie campaign, Walker was expected to start at outside linebacker for the Falcons this year. With fellow pass rusher and 2025 draft pick James Pearce facing serious legal issues, Atlanta's pass rush looks to be in poor shape with the season just five weeks away.

Falcons' DeAngelo Malone: Moved to reserve PUP list
The Falcons placed Malone (undisclosed) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
Malone was initially placed on the active/PUP list this past Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury. Now that he's on the reserve/PUP, Malone will be required to miss the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Falcons. He appeared in nine regular-season games for Atlanta last year and finished with eight tackles (two solo) and one interception.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Torn ACL likely
Walker is believed to have suffered a torn ACL during Tuesday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
On what ended up being the last play of Tuesday's session, Walker remained on the ground following a pass-rush rep and was carted off the field due to a left leg injury, per Josh Kendall of The Athletic. Walker will undergo tests to determine the nature of the issue, but if a torn ACL is confirmed, his second season would be over before it started. As a rookie first-rounder in 2025, he racked up 5.5 sacks among his 36 tackles in 15 regular-season games.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Carted off with apparent leg injury
Walker was carted off the field with an apparent left leg injury at Tuesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Walker went down in the backfield while rushing the passer during a two-minute drill. Once he was down, the whole team gathered around him, and the Falcons ended practice with the injury. It sounds ominous and would be a massive blow to Atlanta's pass rush, as 2025 first-rounders Walker and James Pearce are expected to do most of the heavy lifting off the edge for the Falcons this season.

Falcons' Tua Tagovailoa: Trending toward Week 1 start
Tagovailoa (back) is trending toward being the Falcons' Week 1 starting quarterback, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Coach Kevin Stefanski has remained mum as it pertains to who will be under center for the Falcons for the season opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 13. Having said that, Tagovailoa has been far more active at the beginning of training camp than Michael Penix, the latter of whom continues to rehab the torn ACL that ended his campaign in Week 11 in 2025. Tagovailoa himself has been tending to a back injury, but he was able to elevate to 11-on-11 drills Monday and seems well on his way to getting the call from Stafanski ahead of Week 1. Tagovailoa was limited at Tuesday's practice but hopes to work fully Wednesday, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com.

Falcons' Tua Tagovailoa: To be 'limited' Tuesday
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Tagovailoa (back) will be "limited" at Tuesday's practice, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Tagovailoa has been working through back tightness in the early stages of training camp, and after resuming 11-on-11 work Monday, he'll take a step back one day later. Meanwhile, fellow QB Michael Penix continues to rehab the torn ACL that ended his second campaign in Week 11 of last season. The Falcons' first preseason game occurs Friday, Aug. 14 against the Broncos, so Tagovailoa still has more than a week to put himself in a position for his debut with the team.

Falcons' Bijan Robinson: Agrees to three-year extension
Robinson and the Falcons agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year extension worth up to $75 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Robinson's three-year pact includes $51 million guaranteed and makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history. With a new deal in place, Robinson, who hadn't been participating in training camp practices, is slated to rejoin his teammates on the field. With Robinson's contract situation settled, attention now turns to fellow elite fantasy back Jahmyr Gibbs, who has been a training camp hold-in as he seeks an extension with the Lions.

Falcons' Tua Tagovailoa: Resumes 11-on-11 work
Tagovailoa (back) returned to 11-on-11 drills Monday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Tagovailoa had been dealing with some back tightness, which limited him to individual drills Friday, but the QB has progressed to the point where he's back at it for 11-on-11 work. Meanwhile, Tagovailoa's competition for the Falcons' starting signal-caller job, Michael Penix, who is bouncing back from November ACL surgery, remains limited to individual drills and 7-on-7s.

Falcons' Matthew Bergeron: Signs four-year extension
The Falcons signed Bergeron to a four-year $96 million contract extension Saturday, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.
Bergeron is set to make $60 million in guaranteed money, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. The left guard has started 49 regular-season games of a potential 51, and has been a model of consistency and production for the Falcons since being drafted in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Bergeron is now locked up through 2030.

Falcons' Jawaan Taylor: Hopes to return soon
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday that Taylor (elbow) is progressing well and that he hopes he can return in the next few days or weeks, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Taylor is still working to come back from the triceps and elbow injuries that kept him sidelined for the last five games of the 2025 campaign, and it looks like he could be close to a return to action. He projects to start at right tackle for Atlanta once he's healthy.
