Tyrone Wheatley: Everything you need to know

Wheatley (undisclosed) reverted to Atlanta's injured reserve list Friday, per the NFL's transaction log. Wheatley was waived by the Falcons with an injury designation Thursday, and because he wasn't subsequently claimed by another team, he'll now go to their injured reserve list. He'll be required to stay there for the entire 2025 campaign unless he can negotiate an injury settlement with Atlanta.

Wheatley (undisclosed) was waived by Atlanta on Thursday with an injury designation, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. Wheatley signed with Atlanta in January to add depth at the tackle position. However, he unexpectedly missed practice Wednesday, according to Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site. The 28-year-old is no stranger to limitations, playing in just two games in his career and being waived off injured reserve by New England last September. It's unclear whether his current injury is related to his past history. Should the third-year pro clear waivers, he will revert to the team's injured reserve.

The Patriots waived Wheatley (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Wheatley reverted to New England's IR after going unclaimed on waivers in early August, but the team has now decided to move on from the 27-year-old. Wheatley has appeared in just two regular-season contests in his NFL career, both of which were with the Patriots last season. He's now free to sign elsewhere once he has recovered from his undisclosed injury.
