Orhorhoro (ankle) was placed on injured reserve by the Falcons on Friday, Will McFadden of the team's official website reports. Orhorhoro suffered the ankle injury in Atlanta's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers in Week 8 and he will now be forced to miss at least the team's next four games as he recovers. In his absence, Ta'Quon Graham is a candidate to step into a larger role on the Falcons' defensive line.
Orhorhoro (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports. The 2024 second-round pick from Clemson recorded one total tackle across 15 total snaps (12 defensive and three on special teams) before exiting the Falcons' Week 8 win over the Buccaneers with an ankle injury. He didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss the fifth game of his young career. Expect Ta'Quon Graham to see increased snaps as the Falcons' top rotational defensive end in Orhorhoro's stead.
Orhorhoro (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Orhorhoro suffered an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game and appeared to have trouble putting pressure on his left leg. Grady Jarrett and Zach Harrison will be the Falcons' rotational defensive ends for the rest of Sunday's game.
Orhorhoro (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. While Orhorhoro is sidelined, Ta'Quon Graham will serve as the Falcons' top rotational defensive end behind starters Grady Jarrett and Zach Harrison.
Orhorhoro (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Orhorhoro battled a shoulder injury during training camp but was omitted from the Falcons' Week 1 injury reports. However, the rookie won't make his NFL regular-season debut versus Pittsburgh after being a healthy scratch. With Brandon Dorlus (coach's decision) also inactive, the Falcons may have to rely heavily on their starting defensive line -- Grady Jarrett, David Onyemata and Zach Harrison.
Orhorhoro (shoulder) played in the Falcons' preseason game against the Jaguars on Friday. The defensive lineman started the contest and played on 46, or 59 percent, of the team's defensive snaps. The 2024 second-round pick is on track to begin the season as a backup lineman. Orhorhoro was a third-team All-ACC selection in 2023 at Clemson after recording 25 tackles, including 5.0 sacks.
Coach Raheem Morris said Thursday that Orhorhoro (shoulder) is day-to-day, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Orhorhoro doesn't appear slated to miss much time, but his shoulder injury could impact his availability for Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens. The rookie second-round pick is expected to contribute in a key role for Atlanta's pass rush, which just added Matthew Judon via trade Wednesday.
