Malik Verdon: Everything you need to know

Verdon (shoulder) has been taking part in Atlanta's OTAs. Verdon signed with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent last May but didn't see any time during his rookie campaign. He began the season on the reserve/non-football injury list, and though he was designated to return in mid-November, Verdon ultimately wasn't activated. Verdon now appears to be back to health and will have a chance during the preseason to compete for a depth spot in the Falcons' secondary.

Verdon (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. Verdon has not played this season due to a shoulder injury, but he's practiced in full over the last two weeks, suggesting a return is coming soon. While the Iowa State product remains sidelined in Week 13, expect Jordan Fuller to operate as the Falcons' lone reserve free safety.

Verdon (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Verdon ended the week with back-to-back full practices, but he is not quite ready to make his season debut. He opened the season on the NFI list due to a shoulder injury he presumably sustained during the offseason. The undrafted rookie's next chance to play is Week 13 against the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 30.
