The Atlanta Falcons placed defensive lineman Jack Crawford on injured reserve Tuesday with a torn biceps, and a source told ESPN he is scheduled to have season-ending surgery.
Crawford suffered the injury during last Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He played 12 defensive snaps in the game as a reserve.
Losing Crawford further depletes the Falcons' depth along the defensive line. Both pass rusher Vic Beasley Jr. (hamstring) and defensive lineman Courtney Upshaw (ankle/knee) are working their way back from injuries. The Falcons released former second-round pick Ra'Shede Hageman, the backup nose tackle, following an investigation into a domestic incident.
