Jarrett (knee) has been medically cleared for the start of training camp this week, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official website reports. Jarrett tore his ACL in Week 8 against the Titans last season but is healthy enough to get on the field for the start of camp. Coach Raheem Morris, however, said Jarrett will receiver "modified reps" this summer as he continues to work his way back from the injury. Now 31 years old, Jarrett isn't someone who needs a whole lot of practice reps in order to be ready for the season, though it is worth noting Morris is bringing a new defensive scheme to Atlanta.

Jarrett (knee) has been medically cleared for the start of training camp this week, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official website reports. Jarrett tore his ACL in Week 8 against the Titans last season but is healthy enough to get on the field for the start of camp. Coach Raheem Morris, however, said Jarrett will receiver "modified reps" this summer as he continues to work his way back from the injury. Now 31 years old, Jarrett isn't someone who needs a whole lot of practice reps in order to be ready for the season, though it is worth noting Morris is bringing a new defensive scheme to Atlanta.
Coach Raheem Morris said at practice Tuesday that Jarrett (knee) is still not handling "anything at any speed in terms of team work or drill work" as he continues to rehab from a right ACL tear, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. Jarrett missed all but eight games in 2023, recording 23 total tackles and 1.5 sacks. The 31-year-old veteran was never a likely candidate to be back on the field for June minicamp, but training camp in July could see him take further steps forward in his recovery. When recovered, Jarrett will join rookie second-round pick Ruke Orhorhoro and second-year pro Zach Harrison (knee) as a key piece of Atlanta's defensive front.
Jarrett injured his knee early in the contest, and he's since been deemed unable to return. LaCale London took over for Jarrett after the latter's departure but headed to the medical tent with an injury of his own in the third quarter. The Falcons' defensive interior could be razor thin if London's injury keeps him sidelined as well.
Jarrett's injury occurred early in the contest, and he subsequently headed to the locker room. His potential absence would be a major blow against Derrick Henry and the Titans' offense. LaCale London has stepped in to replace Jarrett for the time being.
