The Chicago Bears claimed former Atlanta Falcons linebacker Mykal Walker off waivers.
Walker, a former fourth-round pick by Atlanta in 2020, emerged as a starter by his third season. Last season, Walker totaled 107 tackles, including four for a loss, one sack, two interceptions and six pass breakups in 16 games with 12 starts.
Walker was a surprise cut by the Falcons, and the Bears were there to claim him at the top of the waiver wire.
We spoke to Matt Urben of Falcons Wire, who gave us the rundown on what we can expect from the Bears’ new linebacker and why he could be a good fit for Chicago.
