Atlanta Falcons linebacker Jalon Walker was carted off the practice field Tuesday after injuring his left leg during a pass rush drill, and coach Kevin Stefanski ended practice early. Walker, the No. 15 overall pick in 2025 from Georgia, started as a rookie with 36 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles. He could not put weight on the leg as he was helped into the locker room, with no immediate severity report. The versatile edge rusher and outside linebacker was one of two first-round pass rushers drafted by Atlanta, alongside James Pearce Jr. at No. 25. Players huddled as trainers attended to him before practice ended about 45 minutes early.
