Falcons' Jalon Walker: Logs 5.5 sacks in rookie season
Walker appeared in 14 regular-season games in 2025 and finished with 36 tackles (24 solo), including 5.5 sacks, one pass defense, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
The Falcons committed to their defense in the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting both Walker and James Pearce in the first round. Walker missed two games in October due to a groin injury and played well in his return with 4.0 sacks over his next four outings. However, he logged one tackle or less in six of the last seven games of the season, and that lack of production may have been due to a quad injury he sustained in early December. Still, Walker finished second among rookies in sacks behind Pearce (10.5), and Atlanta can feel some confidence in their defense moving forward with their two young pass rushers.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Set to play against Tampa
Walker (quadriceps) is active for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Walker practiced in limited fashion throughout the week after exiting Atlanta's Week 14 loss early due to a quad injury. Even with the short turnaround, Walker will be able to suit up against Tampa Bay and should play around half of the team's defensive snaps.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Listed as questionable for TNF
Walker (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Walker picked up a quad injury during Atlanta's loss to Seattle in Week 14 and has been limited in practice since, meaning his status for Thursday's game could legitimately come down to the wire. If the rookie first-round pick isn't able to suit up versus Tampa Bay, Arnold Ebiketie and James Pearce will both be candidates to benefit from increased defensive snaps.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Deemed limited Tuesday
Walker (quadriceps) was estimated as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough.
Walker had to leave Sunday's loss to Seattle early after hurting his quad in the first half. He's been deemed limited in each of the Falcons' two walkthroughs this week, so his status is very much up in the air ahead of Thursday's Week 15 matchup versus Tampa Bay. If Walker can't play against the Bucs, Arnold Ebiketie and James Pearce could both be in line for more defensive snaps than usual.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Leaves game with quad injury
Walker (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Walker is having his quad injury evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Arnold Ebiketie and James Pearce are in line for more snaps at the edge rusher position for as long as Walker is out of the game.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Secures sack in win
Walker recorded 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints.
Walker didn't have a particularly high level of production in Week 12, but he did make the most of his only takedown, sacking Tyler Shough in the third quarter. The linebacker was on the field for 51 percent of the defensive snaps, his lowest percentage since Week 4, and that might explain the dip in production. On the year, Walker has now compiled 30 total tackles (21 solo), including 5.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over nine games.

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.

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.
