Jalon Walker’s Breakout Season Ended Before It BeganRobinson agreed to a three-year record extension worth up to $75 million, including $51 million guaranteed and a $37 million signing bonus.
Walker went down near the end of the team’s sixth practice while the Falcons were running a two-minute situation.
Walker was eventually taken away on a cart, and Atlanta ended practice immediately afterward.
Instead, Walker’s season ended during a practice without pads before Atlanta played a single preseason snap.
