Falcons' Jack Crawford: DNP due to injury
Rotowire
Crawford (thigh) sat out Wednesday's practice session, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.
After Crawford collected a career-best six sacks and 35 tackles in 2018, the arrow was pointing up on his career, and the team entered 2019 with optimism about his ability to contribute to a stingy defensive operation. The season so far has not gone according to plan, however, as Crawford remains without a sack heading into Week 16. He has been a steady contributor throughout the season by fielding at least 20 percent of the defensive snaps in every contest, but Crawford has now gone eight games without recording a start, after starting four times between Weeks 1 and 6. If able to fully recover from his injury in short order, Crawford could see an uptick in involvement over the final two weeks with Takkarist McKinley (shoulder) now on injured reserve.

Rotowire
Crawford, who briefly exited Sunday's game with an apparent head or neck injury, tallied two tackles in a 34-29 win over Tampa Bay.

Falcons' Jack Crawford: Impressive in Saturday's scrimmage
Rotowire
Crawford gathered praise from head coach Dan Quinn regarding his play in the Falcons' inter-squad scrimmage Saturday, Kelsey Conway of the team's official site reports. "I thought Jack Crawford was one (player) that stood out today. He looked to have a good day," Quinn said in a press conference following the practice session, "(He) was really active both in the run game and the pass game."
Crawford remains a long shot to be slotted in besides Grady Jarrett as a starting defensive tackle, but the 29-year-old is beginning to build momentum in training camp after missing all but four games last season with a torn bicep. The London-born behemoth (6-foot-5, 288 pounds) is just two years removed from an 11-start, 3.5-sack season as a member of the Cowboys, and early developments from camp indicate that he will serve as a rotational player along with Terrell McClain and Deadrin Senat at interior defensive line in 2018.
