It was reported that Kendall Sheffield was heading to injured reserve about a week ago, and I fully expected that to be one of the first moves made official once the Falcons cut down to their 53 man roster. Instead, we waited a long time, which raised the possibility that Sheffield was healthier than we had been led to believe and might return in the next week or so.
Alas, that wasn’t the case. The Falcons just announced that Sheffield will head to injured reserve after all, setting him up to miss at least three weeks.
We have placed CB Kendall Sheffield on IR.
