  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Jarrett (Achilles) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints and is expected to play. Jarrett was injured last Sunday against Dallas but won't miss any games. The 31-year-old has logged 30 tackles (19 solo), including 2.5 sacks, on 65 percent of the Falcons' defensive snaps this season.

• Falcons' Grady Jarrett: Estimated as limited Wednesday

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Jarrett (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Jarrett is considered day-to-day due to an Achilles injury he picked up during the Falcons' 27-21 win over the Cowboys this past Sunday. Even if he's able to log a full practice this week, that doesn't guarantee that he'll be given the green light to play Sunday against the Saints. If Jarrett were to miss time or play on a snap count, Kentavius Street and Ta'Quon Graham would be the top candidates to see increased snaps at defensive end.

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

  8D 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.
