Grady Jarrett Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Steelers vs Bears game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 23, 2025
Upgrades to full practice
Jarrett (knee) practiced in full Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett was limited in practice Wednesday, but practicing in full Thursday puts him on track to return from a three-game absence and suit up Sunday on the road against Baltimore, barring any setbacks. With Jarrett back in the lineup, both Chris Williams and Shemar Turner figure to have their snap counts on defense reduced. Turner did not suit up for Chicago's first two regular-season games, when Jarrett was fully healthy.
Oct 22, 2025
Logs limited practice Wednesday
Jarrett (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett has missed each of Chicago's past three contests while dealing with a knee injury. He did return to a limited practice last Friday but wasn't cleared to suit up in this past Sunday's win over New Orleans. Jarrett has a chance to make his return this Sunday against Baltimore, though how he does in practice the next two days could ultimately determine whether he'll suit up.
Oct 19, 2025
Won't play Week 7
Jarrett (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday that Jarrett was expected to play Week 7, but the veteran defensive lineman has not progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to return Sunday. Jarrett will be sidelined for a third consecutive game, and his absence means Shemar Turner, Andrew Billings and Chris Williams will continue to see more rotational snaps at defensive tackle. Jarrett's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 26.
Oct 18, 2025
Trending toward playing vs. NOLA
Jarrett (knee) is questionable to play against the Saints on Sunday but is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett missed the Bears' last two games due to a knee injury that has lingered since the beginning of the regular season. He opened the week with back-to-back DNPs before practicing in a limited capacity Friday, which earned him the questionable tag for Week 7. Even if he's expected to play, Jarrett's status may not be officially known until the Bears announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Jarrett's return would mean less rotational snaps at defensive tackle to go around for Chris Williams, Andrew Billings and Shemar Turner.
Oct 17, 2025
Questionable after limited practice
Jarrett (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett upgraded to limited participation in practice Friday after DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. He last suited up in Week 3 against Dallas. If Jarrett's unable to return Sunday, more snaps on the interior of the defensive line will continue to be available for Chris Williams, Andrew Billings and Shemar Turner.
Oct 11, 2025
Won't play against Washington
Jarrett (knee) didn't practice Saturday and has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Even with the Bears on the Week 5 bye, Jarrett will miss a second consecutive game due to a knee injury that has lingered since early September. Jarrett was unable to practice this past week, and he'll focus on returning to the field in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Bears' Week 7 home clash against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 19. Chris Williams, Andrew Billings and rookie third-rounder Shemar Turner are candidates to see their snaps at defensive tackle increase Monday in Jarrett's absence.
Oct 9, 2025
DNP with knee injury
Jarrett (knee) did not practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett missed the Bears' pre-bye win over the Raiders in Week 4 and could be in danger of missing Monday night's game against the Commanders. The veteran defensive tackle has four tackles (one solo) as a rotational defensive lineman through three games.
Sep 26, 2025
Out in Week 4
Jarrett (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
The 32-year-old has been dealing with a knee injury since the beginning of September, and after a week of no practice participation, he'll miss his first game of the season in Week 4. Jarrett has tallied four total tackles over 120 defensive snaps in his first three contests as a Bear. In his absence, Chris Williams is likely to play a larger role on Chicago's defensive line.
Sep 14, 2025
Active for Week 2
Jarrett (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
After playing 39 defensive snaps and recording three tackles in Chicago's Week 1 loss to the Vikings, Jarrett opened Week 2 prep with back-to-back DNPs before logging a limited session Friday. The veteran missed only three regular-season games over his first eight seasons in the NFL. However, he was sidelined for the second half of 2023 due to an ACL tear and posted modest numbers in his return last season, prompting the Falcons to release him this offseason in a cap-saving move. Jarrett quickly landed with the Bears on a three-year deal worth $43.5 million, and he's expected to be a force for Chicago's defense in 2025. The two-time Pro Bowler is still considered one of the best interior pass rushers in the NFL, but he's finished a season with more than five sacks only once since 2019.
Sep 12, 2025
Questionable for Week 2
Jarrett (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
The veteran defensive lineman opened the Bears' week of practice with consecutive DNPs due to a knee injury. However, he upgraded to limited work Friday, suggesting he's got a chance to suit up Sunday. Jarrett played 39 defensive snaps in Chicago's Week 1 loss to the Vikings, recording three total tackles. If he's unable to go in Week 2, rookie second-round pick Shemar Turner will likely make his first NFL start.
Sep 11, 2025
Logs another DNP
Jarrett (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a knee injury that he likely picked up during the Bears' Week 1 loss to the Vikings. The 2015 fifth-rounder would have to return to practice Friday in at least a limited capacity to have a realistic shot at playing Sunday against the Lions. Andrew Billings is the top candidate to start alongside Gervon Dexter at defensive tackle if Jarrett is not cleared to play.
Sep 10, 2025
Estimated as non-participant
Jarrett (knee) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Bears' walkthrough Wednesday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett played 39 defensive snaps and two snap on special teams in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings, recording three total tackles (one solo) in the contest. The defensive tackle may have picked up a knee injury in the process, but it's also possible that Wednesday was just a scheduled day off for the veteran. Jarrett's status at practice the rest of the week will provide more clarity to his availability for Week 2 versus Detroit.
Mar 10, 2025
Finds new home immediately
Jarrett and the Bears reached agreement Monday on a three-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Released by Atlanta earlier in the day, Jarrett waited only a few hours before agreeing to a contract that's reportedly worth $43.5 million, including $28.5 million guaranteed. He's long been one of the NFL's better interior pass rushers, but he had just 2.5 sacks last season after suffering an ACL tear in 2023. He did play all 17 games in 2024, and his peripheral pass-rush numbers (e.g. 12 QB hits) were more impressive than the lackluster sack total. The Bears apparently have high hopes for Jarrett in his age-32 season ahead.
Mar 10, 2025
Tenure in Atlanta at an end
The Falcons are in line to release Jarrett, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett, a 2015 fifth-round pick, has played the entirety of his 10-year NFL career to date in Atlanta, making the team's decision to move on from the two-time Pro Bowler somewhat unexpected. The 31-year-old came back from an ACL tear suffered in 2023 to play all 17 regular-season games in 2024, racking up 53 tackles (30 solo), including 2.5 sacks. His release saves the Falcons roughly $12.1 million in cap space, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com.
Jan 7, 2025
Records 53 stops in 2024
Jarrett finished the 2024 season with 53 total tackles (30 solo), including 2.5 sacks, over 17 games.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett was able to appear in all 17 of Atlanta's contests this season, reaching at least 50 takedowns for the seventh time in his 10-year NFL career. The defensive lineman is still under contract for another season with the Falcons and he'll likely operate in a starting role with the team again in 2025.
Nov 15, 2024
Past Achilles issue
Jarrett (Achilles) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett popped up on the Falcons' injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to an Achilles issue. However, he upgraded to a full session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his injury in time to face Denver on Sunday. Now that the Clemson product is back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Falcons' top interior defensive lineman in Week 11.
Nov 14, 2024
Limited Thursday
Jarrett (Achilles) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett injured his Achilles in Week 9 against the Cowboys, but that didn't prevent him from playing against the Saints this past Sunday. Unless he downgrades to a DNP on Friday, the 2015 fifth-round pick should be able to suit up against Denver on Sunday. Jarrett has registered 19 tackles (16 solo), including 2.5 sacks, through the first 10 games of the regular season.
Nov 8, 2024
Cleared to play Sunday
Jarrett (Achilles) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints and is expected to play.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett was injured last Sunday against Dallas but won't miss any games. The 31-year-old has logged 30 tackles (19 solo), including 2.5 sacks, on 65 percent of the defensive snaps this season.
Nov 6, 2024
Estimated as limited Wednesday
Jarrett (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett is considered day-to-day due to an Achilles injury he picked up during the Falcons' 27-21 win over the Cowboys this past Sunday. Even if he's able to log a full practice this week, that doesn't guarantee that he'll be given the green light to play Sunday against the Saints. If Jarrett were to miss time or play on a snap count, Kentavius Street and Ta'Quon Graham would be the top candidates to see increased snaps at defensive end.
Nov 4, 2024
Day-to-day with Achilles issue
Jarrett (Achilles) told reporters that he's considered day-to-day following a promising MRI on Monday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old defensive tackle played 31 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, before exiting Week 9's win over the Cowboys with what appeared to be a serious injury. However, Kendall's report Monday suggests that Jarrett could return as soon as Week 10's matchup against the Saints. Jarrett's practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up in New Orleans on Sunday.
Nov 3, 2024
Will not return
Jarrett will not return to Sunday's game versus the Cowboys due to an Achilles strain, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Prior to exiting, Jarrett recorded two solo tackles and one sack. In his absence, Kentavius Street and Ta'Quon Graham are candidates to fill in at left defensive end.
Sep 9, 2024
Makes presence felt in Week 1
Jarrett recorded three tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett mustered only 1.5 sacks across eight appearances before tearing his ACL last year, but he's back to full strength and making his presence felt in Atlanta's new-look 3-4 defense. Jarrett recorded a career-high 7.5 sacks in 2019, but since then, he's totaled just 12.5 sacks over his last four seasons.
Jul 25, 2024
Cleared for start of camp
Jarrett (knee) has been medically cleared for the start of training camp this week, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jun 11, 2024
Not handling drills at minicamp
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 7, 2023
Successful surgery
Jarrett (knee) underwent successful surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee Tuesday, per his personal Twitter account.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett was placed on injured reserve in late October after suffering a torn right ACL during the Falcons' Week 8 loss to the Titans, and he'll begin his recovery process now that he's undergone a successful surgery. The All-Pro defensive tackle appeared in eight games for Atlanta this season, logging 23 total tackles, including two tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
Oct 31, 2023
Moved on IR
The Falcons placed Jarrett (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Arthur Smith confirmed Monday that Jarrett tore his ACL in the first quarter of the Falcons' Week 8 loss to the Titans on Sunday. Jarrett had only missed three games in his career since being taken by the Falcons in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft and started in 120 of 135 appearances. He finishes the 2023 season with 23 tackles (nine solo), including 1.5 sacks, in eight games.
Oct 30, 2023
Suffers torn ACL
Jarrett (knee) sustained a season-ending ACL tear during Sunday's loss to the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett's loss is a huge blow for the Falcons' defensive front, and primes LaCale London (knee) to be thrust into an expanded role starting Sunday versus Minnesota, if he can get healthy himself. A 30-year-old veteran, Jarrett now faces a difficult path to recovery for the 2024 campaign.
Oct 29, 2023
Won't return to Week 8 action
Jarrett has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's game against Tennessee due to a knee injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 29, 2023
Heads to locker room with injury
Jarrett hurt his knee during the first quarter of Sunday's game against Tennessee and is questionable to return, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
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.
Sep 12, 2023
Three tackles in opener
Jarrett recorded three tackles (two solo), including a half-sack, in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett is now in his ninth season with the Falcons and he was once again a disruptor in the backfield. The defensive lineman has recorded at least 52 tackles in each of his last six campaigns.
Oct 3, 2022
Back-to-back games with sack
Jarrett registered five tackles (three solo) and one sack during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett recorded at least five tackles and one sack for the third time this season. Aside from a lackluster performance against the Rams, the veteran defensive tackle has been a major force for Atlanta's defense this season, totaling 16 tackles and 3.5 sacks through four games.
Sep 26, 2022
Records sack in win
Jarrett notched five tackles (four solo), including three for loss, and one sack during Sunday's 27-23 win over the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett was in the backfield on multiple occasions to shut down Seattle's rushing attack, but his lone sack couldn't have come at a better time. After a costly fumble by Marcus Mariota late in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks were driving, but Jarrett sacked Geno Smith for a 10-yard loss on third-and-eight, and on the ensuing fourth down, Richie Grant sealed the victory with an interception. Across the first three games of the season, Jarrett has totaled 11 tackles (seven solo) and 2.5 sacks.
Sep 12, 2022
Strong showing in season opener
Jarrett recorded five tackles (three solo) and 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 27-26 loss to the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett's first sack came on a first-and-10 play in the second quarter, and his split sack with Lorenzo Carter came a few drives later on a third-and-five. The veteran defensive end was expected to be more versatile this year after the Falcons defense lost Foye Oluokun and Dante Fowler this offseason, and Jarrett took full advantage of his new role in Week 1. He's already surpassed his sack total from a year ago and looks poised for a bounce-back campaign during his eighth year with the franchise.
Aug 6, 2022
Set to be more versatile in 2022
Jarrett said Wednesday that he'll play all over the defensive line in 2022, Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett said he's most comfortable at three-technique and nose tackle, but he's gaining experience at pretty much every alignment during training camp. The 2015 fifth-round pick signed a three-year, $51 million extension this offseason, and his increased versatility appears to be a key factor for the Falcons' new defensive coordinator Dean Pees. Jarrett's new role should bode well for his overall fantasy production in 2022 after he tied his career low with one sack last year.
May 3, 2022
Secures extension
Jarrett and the Falcons came to terms Tuesday on a three-year extension worth up to $51 million, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The deal includes $34.5 million fully guaranteed, according to Rapoport.
ANALYSIS
The deal lowers Jarrett's cap figure for 2022 while simultaneously giving the star defensive lineman some added financial security. Though the one sack he recorded in 17 games in 2021 matched his lowest total since his rookie season in 2015, Jarrett remained effective as a run stopper with 59 tackles (38 solo).
Sep 28, 2021
Notches first sack
Jarrett recorded four solo tackles and a sack in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett burst through the Giants' offensive line and took down Daniel Jones for his first sack of the season. Last year, he recorded 52 tackles and four sacks. He's off to a solid start with eight stops and a sack through three contests this year.
Mar 29, 2021
Final year with Falcons on deck?
Jarrett (groin) is unlikely to remain in Atlanta after the 2021 season, Deen Worley of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett is technically under contract with the Falcons through 2022, but after the 2021 season his contract includes a potential 'out' with just $7.3 million in dead money. The soon-to-be 28-year-old has been a rare defensive standout for Atlanta, with 17.5 sacks over the last three seasons. A strong 2021 campaign could even boost his potential trade value.
Jan 3, 2021
Day officially done
Jarrett (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
With Atlanta having no postseason aspirations left to play for, there's little reason to rush back the two-time Pro Bowler and defensive cornerstone. Jarrett closes out his 2020 campaign with a career-high 20 QB hits, though his four sacks represent a step down from his totals of six and 7.5 between 2018 and 2019, respectively. The 27-year-old also notched eight-plus tackles for loss in a fourth consecutive campaign.
Jan 3, 2021
Questionable to return Sunday
Jarrett (groin) is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett has gone without a game absence over four of the past five seasons, but it's uncertain if he'll be able to return to his defensive tackle spot Sunday after suffering a first-half injury. The 27-year-old recently earned his second Pro Bowl nod in as many seasons, as he stands with a total of 52 tackles, 20 QB hits, a fumble recovery and four sacks heading into halftime of Week 17.
Dec 18, 2020
Ready for Week 15
Jarrett (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, but the groin issue won't affect his availability for this weekend. Jarrett should continue to see a heavy workload at defensive tackle for Atlanta.
Dec 17, 2020
Added to injury report
Jarrett (groin) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett had no issues at practice to start the week, so it's a bit concerning to see him back on the injury report with the groin issue that has hampered him throughout the season. He's yet to miss a game this season, however, as he's coming off 84 percent of defensive snaps in last week's loss to the Chargers. If he continues to practice in some fashion Friday he'll likely be out there for Week 15 the Buccaneers.
Dec 11, 2020
Cleared despite limited practices
Jarrett (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett was limited in all three of Atlanta's practice sessions this week but still managed to avoid being listed on the team's final injury report. He started the season hot with 2.5 sacks through three weeks, but the defensive lineman has added only half a sack to his ledger since then.
Dec 9, 2020
Limited showing Wednesday
Jarrett (groin) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett is back on the injury report again with the groin injury that has caused him to manage his practice reps this season. The Clemson product has yet to miss time this season, playing 79 percent of defensive snaps in last week's loss to New Orleans. If he continues to practice in some fashion this week he'll likely be out there for Week 14 against the Chargers.
Nov 25, 2020
Practices in limited fashion
Jarrett (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett has been a recurring member of the injury report this year with back and hip issues. He has avoided missing time, often playing more than 90 percent of the snaps on defense lately. This knee injury appears to be new. If he stays on the practice field all week, however, he'll have a good chance to play Sunday versus the Raiders.
Nov 24, 2020
Credited for half sack
Jarrett recorded seven tackles (four solo), half a sack, and half a tackles for loss Sunday against New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett was heavily involved in this one, registering a season-high seven tackles in the 24-9 loss on the road. He now has three sacks on the season through 10 games to go along with 39 tackles (19 solo) and one fumble recovery.
Oct 14, 2020
Practices in limited fashion
Jarrett (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett played through a hip injury over the last two games, and now he's bothered by a back issue. This is worth monitoring as the week goes on, as Jarrett consistently leads the Falcons' defensive line in snaps, and he's recorded 21 tackles and 2.5 sacks through five contests.
Oct 9, 2020
Ready to rock
Jarrett (hip) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett was limited in Friday's practice, but he handled 78 percent of defensive snaps Week 4 while playing through the lingering hip injury, so it doesn't look as though his workload is in much danger of diminishing versus Carolina. As the Falcons eye their first win of the season, Jarrett will be counted on to pressure Teddy Bridgewater and slow down Mike Davis.
Oct 7, 2020
Limited in Wednesday's session
Jarrett (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett hasn't missed a game since 2018, and the defensive tackle was able to suit up in Week 4 after injuring his hip in Week 3. While he may not upgrade to a full practice at any point, Jarrett's likely to tough it out come Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Oct 3, 2020
Ready for MNF
Jarrett (hip) will play in Monday's game versus the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett will avoid missing his first game since the 2018 season. The Clemson product is off to a hot start this year with 14 tackles, 2.5 sacks and a fumble recovery through three games, and he'll be tasked with slowing down running back Aaron Jones and pressuring Aaron Rodgers in Week 4.
Oct 2, 2020
Back at practice Friday
Jarrett (hip) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett suffered this injury in Week 3's loss to the Bears and was unable to practice Thursday, but he participated in Friday's session. It's a positive sign for his chances of playing Monday versus the Packers, but if he can't shake off the injury in time, John Cominsky will likely take over as a starting defensive tackle.
Sep 27, 2020
Suffers injury Sunday
Jarrett (leg) exited Sunday's contest against the Bears, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear how Jarrett suffered the injury, however, he's been unable to return to the game since the first half. As long as Jerrett is sidelined, Marlon Davidson would be in line for an uptick in snaps.
Sep 22, 2020
Generates takeaway in Week 2
Jarrett collected five tackles and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 40-39 loss to the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett made an early impression in Week 2, scooping up a loose ball after teammate Foyesade Oluokun stripped Ezekiel Elliott on Dallas' third offensive drive of the game. The 2019 Pro Bowler also assisted Takkarist McKinley on a takedown in the backfield in the opening quarter, tackling Elliott for a four-yard loss on a Cowboys drive that concluded with a turnover on downs. Dallas roared back in the fourth quarter to overtake Atlanta for the Week 2 win, but now Jarrett and the Falcons' defense aim to re-calibrate against a Bears offense that is coming off an underwhelming 17-point performance against the Giants.
Sep 13, 2020
Lights up stat line in loss
Jarrett collected four tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a tackle for loss during Sunday's 38-25 loss to Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett continues his transformation into a household name, having earned his first career Pro Bowl nod in 2019 and so far in 2020 looking every bit like an elite defensive tackle. Starting 16 games for the second time in his NFL career last year, Jarrett generated six-plus sacks for a second consecutive season. His dominant pass-rushing form remains intact as he led the way to three team sacks for Atlanta on Sunday. Dallas may be without starting right tackle Cameron Erving (knee) after he suffered an injury during Sunday Night Football, leaving the Cowboys' offensive line potentially depleted for a Week 2 matchup against Jarrett and the Falcons' front.
Aug 3, 2020
Excited to team up with Fowler
Jarrett said Monday that it has been "awesome" to be a teammate of Dante Fowler thus far, and that he is "ready to go wreck it up with him," William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
An argument can be made that Fowler is as talented a pass rusher that Jarrett has ever teamed up with across six NFL seasons, as Fowler has averaged eight sacks per 16 games since the start of 2017. Over that same span, Fowler's production compares favorably to the averages of both Takkarist McKinley (5.9 sacks per 16 games) and Vic Beasley (six sacks per 16 games), providing optimism that Atlanta's pass rush may improve upon a 30th-place finish in team sacks from 2019. Grady himself is coming off a career-high 7.5-sack season, and he has potential to improve upon that number with Fowler demanding attention from opposing offensive lines.
Oct 25, 2019
Ready for Sunday
Jarrett (abdomen) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett was added to the injury report Wednesday as a non-participant, but the abdominal issue didnt end up impacting his availability for Week 8. The 26-year-old has 36 tackles (19 solo) with two sacks and two forced fumbles through seven games.
Oct 4, 2019
Suiting up Sunday
Jarrett (elbow) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett was held to limited participation Wednesday and Thursday, but he elevated to full speed Friday and will be ready to rock going forward. The fifth-year pro has registered 19 tackles and two sacks this season. He'll have a good chance to notch a sack in this outing, as Deshaun Watson has been dropped 18 times through four games, third-most in the league.
Oct 2, 2019
Limited participant Wednesday
Jarrett was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice with an elbow injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett battled a toe injury last week but avoided an injury designation and played 54 snaps against the Titans. The fact the 26-year-old is still practicing despite the new injury keeps him on track to play Week 5.
Sep 27, 2019
Ready to go
Jarrett (toe) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's tilt against the Titans, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jarrett was a full participant in Friday's practice and appears fully recovered from his toe injury. The fifth-year pass rusher is facing a prime matchup in IDP formats, considering that Marcus Mariota was sacked nine times by Jacksonville in Week 3.
