The Atlanta Falcons have placed rookie defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro on injured reserve due to an ankle injury sustained during their recent victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This setback will sideline him for at least four games.

In response, the Falcons have signed linebacker Rashaan Evans to fill the vacant roster spot. Additionally, several players, including linebacker JD Bertrand and linebacker Troy Andersen, are dealing with injuries ahead of their upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys.
