Head coach Raheem Morris confirmed Monday that Trice tore his ACL in Friday's preseason loss to the Dolphins, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. Trice sustained the injury in the second quarter of Friday's game, and he was placed on the reserve/injured list Sunday. The rookie third-round pick out of Washington was set to play a key role in the Falcons' defense alongside starting outside linebackers Arnold Ebiketie and Lorenzo Carter. Trice will now turn his attention to rehabbing and recovering from his torn ACL and come back fully healthy for 2025.
The Falcons placed Trice on the reserve/injured list Sunday due to a knee injury. Trice left with athletic trainers in the second quarter of Friday's 20-13 preseason loss to the Dolphins. The season-ending injury is a huge blow to the rookie third-round linebacker, who was playing snaps with both the first- and second-team defenses during training camp. James Smith-Williams, Demone Harris and Bradlee Anae are the main candidates to earn more snaps at outside linebacker behind starters Arnold Ebiketie and Lorenzo Carter with Trice shelved for the entire 2024 season.
Trice injured his left leg in Friday's preseason 20-13 loss to the Dolphins, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official website reports. Trice had to be assisted off the field by two trainers after the rookie got caught up in the mix along the line of scrimmage. After being selected in the third round of this year's draft, he spent time with both the first and second team defenses at practice. It remains to be seen how serious his leg injury is.
