The announced that they have placed defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
As Justin Felder of Fox 5 Sports in Atlanta noted, Fowler's placement on the list means he either tested positive or was in close contact with someone who has.
Atlanta is on a bye this week. The Falcons' next game is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 22, at 1 p.m. ET at the New Orleans Saints.
Fowler, 26, has 17 tackles, six quarterback hits and two sacks in eight games for the Falcons. He joined Atlanta on a three-year, $45 million contract last offseason after playing with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Rams during the first four years of his career.
