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.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Notches sack vs. Colts
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.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Role ticks up
Walker recorded five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, two tackles for loss and a pass defensed in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
Walker saw his role expand, logging a career-best 65 percent and 44 total defensive snaps. He responded with two sacks -- his first since Week 2 -- while also racking up five tackles. Walker could be in for a big second half of his rookie season, particularly if the Falcons continue to give him more responsibility.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Returning to action Sunday
Walker (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Walker missed the past two games due to a groin injury but will return to action Sunday after logging a trio of limited sessions during Week 9 prep. With Leonard Floyd (hamstring) also available, Walker may be in a rotation with Floyd, Arnold Ebiketie and fellow rookie James Pearce.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Could return Sunday
Walker (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
The 2025 first-round pick from Georgia missed Atlanta's last two games due to a groin injury, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to return Sunday. Walker has tallied 14 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, through his first five NFL games. If he's active in Week 9, he'll likely operate as one of the Falcons' top edge rushers.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Returns to practice
Walker (groin) was a limited participant in Atlanta's practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Walker managed to return to practice Wednesday after missing the last two games due to a groin injury. If the rookie first-round pick is able to suit up for Sunday's matchup versus New England, he should return to his role as one of the team's starting outside linebackers.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Out for Week 8
Walker (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The 2025 first-round pick from Georgia is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a groin injury sustained in the Week 6 win over the Bills. Walker has appeared in five games this season, recording 14 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. While he's sidelined Sunday, expect James Pearce to operate as the Falcons' lone reserve edge rusher.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Doesn't practice Thursday
Walker (groin) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Walker picked up a groin injury during the Falcons' Week 6 win over the Bills, which prevented him from playing against the 49ers in Week 7. He's missed the first two practices of the week, so he'll have to log at least a limited practice Friday to give himself a chance to play against Miami on Sunday. James Pearce, Leonard Floyd and Arnold Ebiketie would continue to see more snaps at outside linebacker if Walker is not cleared to play Week 8.

Falcons' Jalon Walker: Estimated to miss practice
Walker (groin) was estimated to be a nonparticipant Wednesday, but the team did not hold an official practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Walker didn't practice at all last week and missed Sunday's loss to San Francisco due to a groin injury. His DNP status to begin Week 8 prep isn't promising, but the rookie linebacker will have two more chances to return to practice this week. When healthy, Walker has been logging around half of the Falcons' defensive snaps while working in a rotational role.
