• Falcons' Grady Jarrett: Day-to-day with Achilles issue

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Jarrett (Achilles) told reporters that he's considered day-to-day following a promising MRI on Monday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. The 31-year-old defensive tackle played 31 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, before exiting Week 9's win over the Cowboys with what appeared to be a serious injury. However, Kendall's report Monday suggests that Jarrett could return as soon as Week 10's matchup against the Saints. Jarrett's practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up in New Orleans on Sunday.

  Jarrett recorded three tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers. Jarrett mustered only 1.5 sacks across eight appearances before tearing his ACL last year, but he's back to full strength and making his presence felt in Atlanta's new-look 3-4 defense. Jarrett recorded a career-high 7.5 sacks in 2019, but since then, he's totaled just 12.5 sacks over his last four seasons.

• Falcons' Grady Jarrett: Not handling drills at minicamp

  06/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  Coach Raheem Morris said at practice Tuesday that Jarrett (knee) is still not handling "anything at any speed in terms of team work or drill work" as he continues to rehab from a right ACL tear, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. Jarrett missed all but eight games in 2023, recording 23 total tackles and 1.5 sacks. The 31-year-old veteran was never a likely candidate to be back on the field for June minicamp, but training camp in July could see him take further steps forward in his recovery. When recovered, Jarrett will join rookie second-round pick Ruke Orhorhoro and second-year pro Zach Harrison (knee) as a key piece of Atlanta's defensive front.

• Falcons' Grady Jarrett: Won't return to Week 8 action

  10/29/2023 • By RotoWire

  Jarrett has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's game against Tennessee due to a knee injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Jarrett injured his knee early in the contest, and he's since been deemed unable to return. LaCale London took over for Jarrett after the latter's departure but headed to the medical tent with an injury of his own in the third quarter. The Falcons' defensive interior could be razor thin if London's injury keeps him sidelined as well.
