The Atlanta Falcons have made more changes to their roster, placing defensive end Samson Ebukam on the injured reserve list and signing Drake Jackson to the practice squad on Tuesday afternoon. The team also released offensive lineman Colby Sorsdal from the practice squad.
Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski previously ruled out Ebukam for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a hamstring injury. Now the veteran edge rusher will miss at least the next four games of the season on IR.
Jackson returns to Atlanta after being released from the 53-man roster on Monday. The former second-round pick out of USC spent most of the season on the Falcons' practice squad and now returns for Week 9.
While the team has yet to officially activate edge
rusher James Pearce Jr., his suspension is over and he is expected to return before Sunday's game against the Bengals in Madrid, Spain.
