The team’s medical staff carted Walker off the field during Tuesday’s training camp session with an apparent leg injury. A MRI confirmed that Walker suffered a torn ACL, according to the team. The Falcons have not given a timeline on when Walker will have surgery or how long his recovery process will take.
