The Atlanta Falcons have waived linebacker Mykal Walker, who started for the team last season.

Walker, 25, started 12 games for Atlanta in 2022. He made a career-high 107 tackles with four tackles for loss, his first career sack and two interceptions.

Walker thanked the Falcons in an Instagram post and said, "my journey is far from over."

This preseason, Walker had been working behind free agent signing Kaden Elliss and second-year pro Troy Andersen at inside linebacker.
