Falcons' Pass Rush Crisis Deepens | Atlanta Falcons News

Atlanta Falcons’ defense just took a brutal hit as rookie pass rusher Jalon Walker is likely out for the season after tearing his ACL in practice. With James Pearce Jr. potentially facing suspension, the team’s pass rush is dangerously thin—relying on unproven rookies and rotational players like Samson Ebukam and Azeez Ojulari. With limited options, free agency becomes essential, and Leonard Floyd—the veteran who mentored Walker and still delivers pressure—is the obvious answer. The Falcons have $38M in cap space to make this move happen. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
