The Falcons placed Hand (quadriceps) on injured reserve Wednesday, William McFadden of the team's official site reports.
Hand's move to injured reserve comes as no surprise since it was previously announced that he'd miss the remainder of the season due to a torn quadriceps suffered during the team's Week 1 loss to the Steelers. The 30-year-old played just seven defensive snaps and failed to log any stats before getting hurt and will now shift his focus to getting healthy for the 2027 campaign.
