Falcons injury report: Julio Jones remains out; Grady Jarrett limited The Falcons had seven starters limited during Wednesday's practice session

OCTOBER 14, 2020 • ATLANTAFALCONS.COM

Ready to rock Jarrett (hip) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jarrett was limited in Friday's practice, but he handled 78 percent of defensive snaps Week 4 while playing through the lingering hip injury, so it doesn't look as though his workload is in much danger of diminishing versus Carolina. As the Falcons eye their first win of the season, Jarrett will be counted on to pressure Teddy Bridgewater and slow down Mike Davis.

Limited in Wednesday's session Jarrett (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Jarrett hasn't missed a game since 2018, and the defensive tackle was able to suit up in Week 4 after injuring his hip in Week 3. While he may not upgrade to a full practice at any point, Jarrett's likely to tough it out come Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Ready for MNF Jarrett (hip) will play in Monday's game versus the Packers.

Impact Jarrett will avoid missing his first game since the 2018 season. The Clemson product is off to a hot start this year with 14 tackles, 2.5 sacks and a fumble recovery through three games, and he'll be tasked with slowing down running back Aaron Jones and pressuring Aaron Rodgers in Week 4.

Back at practice Friday Jarrett (hip) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jarrett suffered this injury in Week 3's loss to the Bears and was unable to practice Thursday, but he participated in Friday's session. It's a positive sign for his chances of playing Monday versus the Packers, but if he can't shake off the injury in time, John Cominsky will likely take over as a starting defensive tackle.

Suffers injury Sunday Jarrett (hip) exited Sunday's contest against the Bears, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear how Jarrett suffered the injury, however, he's been unable to return to the game since the first half. As long as Jerrett is sidelined, Marlon Davidson would be in line for an uptick in snaps.

Generates takeaway in Week 2 Jarrett collected five tackles and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 40-39 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Jarrett made an early impression in Week 2, scooping up a loose ball after teammate Foyesade Oluokun stripped Ezekiel Elliott on Dallas' third offensive drive of the game. The 2019 Pro Bowler also assisted Takkarist McKinley on a takedown in the backfield in the opening quarter, tackling Elliott for a four-yard loss on a Cowboys drive that concluded with a turnover on downs at the 5:55 mark. Dallas roared back in the second half to overtake Atlanta for the Week 2 win, but now Jarrett and the Falcons defense aim to re-calibrate against a Bears offense that is coming off an underwhelming 17-point performance against the Giants.

Lights up stat line in loss Jarrett collected four tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a tackle for loss during Sunday's 38-25 loss to Seattle.

Impact Jarrett continues his transformation into a household name, having earned his first career Pro Bowl nod in 2019 and so far in 2020 looking every bit like an elite defensive tackle. Starting 16 games for the second time in his NFL career last year, Jarrett generated six-plus sacks for a second consecutive season. His strong pass-rushing form remains intact as he led the way to three team sacks for Atlanta on Sunday. Dallas may be without starting right tackle Cameron Erving (knee) after he suffered an injury during Sunday Night Football, leaving the Cowboys' offensive line potentially depleted for a Week 2 matchup against Jarrett and the Falcons' front.
