The Falcons beat the Chicago Bears, but that win came with a price. Both Kyle Pitts and Ta’Quon Graham were injured—Graham left the game on a cart, which is never a good sign—and this afternoon we’ve learned that both players are headed to injured reserve.
In a flurry of afternoon moves, the Falcons added a defensive lineman to the roster, added a familiar face at tight end to the practice squad, placed Pitts and Graham on IR, and put rookie guard Justin Shaffer on the practice squad injured reserve. This is a grim Monday.
We have made the following moves:
- TE Kyle Pitts to IR
- DL Ta'Quon Graham to IR
- DL Jaleel Johnson claimed off waivers
- TE John Raine signed to PS
- OL Justin Shaffer to PS IR— Atlanta Falcons (@AtlantaFalcons) November 21, 2022Pitts, who led the Falcons in targets with 59, is likely done for the season with what was reported as a torn MCL.
