The Atlanta Falcons placed veteran cornerback Darqueze Dennard on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, meaning he'll be sidelined at least three weeks and unavailable for Monday night's matchup at Green Bay.
Dennard, who signed a one-year deal with the Falcons before the season, is coming off his best game with an interception in the end zone in a 30-26 loss to the Chicago Bears. Dennard played 77 snaps before exiting with the injury with 2 minutes, 12 seconds left in regulation.
Dennard, who had been playing the nickelback role, started at left cornerback against the Bears because rookie first-round draft pick A.
