Falcons' Derrick Shelby: Placed on IR
Derrick Shelby (groin) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Atlanta Falcons' official site reports.Shelby started in three games for Atlanta in 2018 but missed time earlier this season with a groin injury. The Utah product is the fourth defensive starter to be placed on injured reserve, joining Keanu Neal (knee), Ricardo Allen (Achilles) and Deion Jones (foot) -- although Jones was activated prior to playing the Cowboys. Shelby didn't carry an injury designation prior to facing the Cowboys in Week 11, but the injury seems to have lingered and will force him to miss the remainder of the season.

Falcons' Derrick Shelby: Practices in limited capacity Thursday
Derrick Shelby (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.The veteran defensive end sustained this lingering groin injury during a Week 2 win over Carolina and has been held out of the lineup for the Atlanta Falcons' past four games. Shelby being able to partake in practice is not necessarily a sign that he will be activated for a Week 7 tilt against the Giants, as he has been able to participate in walk-throughs and individual drills for three weeks now without yet being able to return for full-speed game action. His presence on the field, even on a restricted snap count, would be beneficial in trying to slow down electrifying rookie running back Saquon Barkley.
