The Atlanta Falcons take a major hit as second-year standout Jalon Walker goes down with an ACL tear, forcing him to miss the season. To plug the gap, they’ve brought in versatile defensive back Keidron Smith — a journeyman with recent snaps for the Commanders, Broncos, and Jets — who’s now stepping into a key role while Jessie Bates III recovers. But the real pressure is on the edge rusher position, where injuries and potential suspensions have left the roster thin. The Falcons are scrambling, adding veterans like Samson Ebukam and Azeez Ojulari, while promising young talent Bralen Trice steps up — all while racing toward the season opener.
