  • Falcons' Ruke Orhorhoro: Placed on IR
    By RotoWire

    Orhorhoro (ankle) was placed on injured reserve by the Falcons on Friday, Will McFadden of the team's official website reports. Orhorhoro suffered the ankle injury in Atlanta's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers in Week 8, and he will now be forced to miss at least the team's next four games as he recovers. In his absence, Ta'Quon Graham is a candidate to step into a larger role on the Falcons' defensive line.

Orhorhoro suffered an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game and appeared to have trouble putting pressure on his left leg. Grady Jarrett and Zach Harrison will be the Falcons' rotational defensive ends for the rest of Sunday's game.

  • Orhorhoro (shoulder) played in the Falcons' preseason game against the Jaguars on Friday. The defensive lineman started the contest and played on 46, or 59 percent, of the team's defensive snaps. The 2024 second-round pick is on track to begin the season as a backup lineman. Orhorhoro was a third-team All-ACC selection in 2023 at Clemson after recording 25 tackles, including 5.0 sacks.

  • Falcons' Ruke Orhorhoro: Onward to the ATL
    By RotoWire

    The Falcons selected Orhorhohro in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 35th overall. The Falcons continue to surprise with their draft selections after taking quarterback Michael Penix with the eighth overall pick Thursday. Orhorhoro going ahead of fellow defensive tackles Johnny Newton and Kris Jenkins was unexpected. A five-year player at Clemson, Orhorhoro is on the lighter side for a defensive tackle at 294 pounds on a 6-foot-4 frame but tested well at the combine, highlighted by a 4.89-second 40-yard dash. He did not begin playing football until his junior year of high school, which quells some concern regarding his advanced age coming into the league as he's still getting experience under his belt. He projects to challenge for snaps at the left defensive end spot in the Falcons' 3-4 front.
