Jalon Walker Feared ACL Tear – Pass Rush Crisis
Breakout pass rusher Jalon Walker was carted off the field with a feared ACL tear during training camp. This is a massive blow to a defense already thin on edge rush. The Falcons now urgently need to add a pass rusher, especially with Pearce Jr. uncertainty. Walker was expected to build on 5.5 sacks in 2025.
