Training camp and preseason help teams get ready for the regular season and determine the contours of their 53 man roster, but they also tend to be places where players get hurt. If you’re fortunate, these injuries are relatively minor and not far-reaching so they impact the entire season ahead, but they are always huge bummers.
The Falcons already waived Sterling Hofrichter and put him on injured reserve, and now reserve tight end Jaeden Graham is headed for the reserve/injured list. Unfortunately, per The Athletic’s Tori McElhaney, it sounds like Graham’s non-contact injury suffered on Wednesday is going to keep him out for the rest of the year.
