• Falcons' Matthew Judon: Disappointing 2024 campaign

  01/08/2025 • By RotoWire

  Judon finished the 2024 season with 41 total tackles (25 solo), including 5.5 sacks, while also adding five passes defensed, including an interception, over 17 games. Judon was traded to the Falcons in August after three seasons with the Patriots, ultimately appearing in all 17 contests with Atlanta. The linebacker was unable to replicate his production from his time in New England though, securing just 5.5 sacks with the Falcons after compiling 32.0 sacks over 38 games with the Patriots. However, Judon did snatch his first career interception in Week 16 versus the Giants, returning it for a touchdown. The 32-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he'll likely have many suitors interested in signing him.

• Falcons' Matthew Judon: Productive in loss

  12/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Judon recorded four total tackles (all solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday night's 30-24 overtime loss to the Commanders. Judon has been a key contributor to Atlanta's defensive success in his first season as a Falcon, recording 39 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks, and one pick-six while appearing in all 16 of the team's regular-season games thus far. However, his sack total has decreased substantially in 2024, compared to the 15.5 and 12.5 sacks tallied in his last two full seasons in the NFL. He'll aim to wreak havoc and disrupt Bryce Young when the Panthers visit Atlanta in Week 18.

• Falcons' Matthew Judon: Dealing with hamstring issue

  10/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Judon (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Judon appears to have aggravated his hamstring issue during the Falcons' Week 5 win over the Buccaneers. However, the veteran edge rusher was still able to record two total tackles and one pass defended across 31 defensive snaps. Judon is expected to play in Sunday's matchup against the Panthers unless he downgrades to no participation either Thursday or Friday.

  09/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Judon (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints and is expected to play. Judon was limited in practice early in the week but is good to go for a big divisional tilt. The 32-year-old has logged 15 tackles (eight solo), including 1.5 sacks, and three QB hits in his first three games with the Falcons following his summer acquisition from New England.
