Jalon Walker Expected to Play in Week 1
Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said that rookie first-round linebacker Jalon Walker (groin) is on track to play in Week 1 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday. Walker injured his groin in training camp practice in the middle of August but has recovered and should be out on the field for his first NFL contest this weekend. It's good news for Atlanta's defense as they look to slow down Baker Mayfield and Company to kick things off in 2025. Despite being a rookie, the Falcons are hoping that Walker can immediately be one of their most productive pass-rushers as a rotational outside linebacker, but fantasy managers in IDP fantasy formats can likely leave him on the waiver wire to start. In his final year at Georgia, the 21-year-old had 60 total tackles and 6.5 sacks in 14 games played.
