Atlanta Falcons Star Grady Jarrett to Miss Rest of Season Due to Torn ACL
Two-time Pro Bowler Grady Jarrett's ACL tear leaves a significant gap in Falcons' defense, other players injured in game against Titans.
- Two-time Pro Bowler Grady Jarrett, the Atlanta Falcons undisputed defensive tackle, will miss the rest of the season due to a torn ACL, a major setback for the team's defense.
- Jarrett has been a consistent player for the Falcons, having started every game since 2018, and was leading a significantly overhauled defense this season.
- Jarrett was injured during a game against the Tennessee Titans, which resulted in a 28-23 loss for the Falcons. Apart from him, other players also suffered different injuries during the game.
- The Falcons could adjust to Jarrett's absence by utilizing linemen such as David Onyemata, or shifting defensive end Calais Campbell to an interior position, but replacing him fully won't be possible given his dominant presence.
- As the NFL's trade deadline approaches, the Falcons might consider a trade deal amid rumors about their interest in Montez Sweat, Washington's standout defensive lineman.
