Falcons’ Pass Rusher Out Before Season Starts | Atlanta Falcons News

Atlanta Falcons’ promising second-year pass rusher Jalon Walker is feared to have torn his ACL during training camp, potentially ending his 2026 season before it begins. Drafted 15th overall in 2025, Walker had a solid rookie year with 36 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. With Walker sidelined, the Falcons will rely more on Azeez Ojulari, Cameron Thomas, and Samson Ebukam to fill the edge void as they open their 2026 campaign against the Steelers on September 13.
