Atlanta Falcons Injury History & Analysis

Falcons Edge Jalon Walker tore his left ACL in practice Tuesday and will miss the entire season. That's a big blow to a defense that already had questions about its pass-rushing group.

Falcons S Jessie Bates (knee) is active for today's game against the Patriots. He spent the week limited in practice but should be OK to use as planned in IDP lineups. The injury obviously adds some risk if you have a close decision at DB.

The Falcons placed LB Divine Deablo on IR ahead of Sunday's loss to the Dolphins. That means his forearm fracture will cost at least three more games. Week 12 at New Orleans will be the first time Deablo's eligible to return.
