Still No. 1 on depth chart Ebiketie is listed as one of the starting outside linebackers on the Falcons' official depth chart, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Atlanta made a splash late in training camp by signing Justin Simmons and trading for Matthew Judon. Both newcomers are listed as backups on the depth chart, but that's expected to change once they get acclimated to the Falcons' system. Ebiketie and Lorenzo Carter are expected to compete for the other starting outside linebacker spot when Judon is up to full speed.

Gets after quarterback Ebiketie recorded two tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Commanders.

Impact Ebiketie, a 2022 second-round pick, recorded 30 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 16 games as a rookie. He got off to a slow start this year and had been playing fewer snaps compared to 2022, but that all changed against the Commanders. The Falcons pass rush is one of the worst in the NFL, but if Ebiketie can make his presence felt more often, he should quickly carve out more snaps and could emerge as an IDP option later in the season.
