Atlanta’s Week 8 loss became a bit more painful on Monday following additional testing on one of the Falcons’ key defenders.<\/p>\n
An MRI revealed defensive tackle Grady Jarrett suffered a torn ACL on Sunday, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday, per a source. Jarrett will miss the rest of the 2023 season.<\/p>\n
ESPN first reported the news.<\/p>\n
Jarrett sustained the injury on just the fourth play from scrimmage in the game against Tennessee, appearing to tear his ACL while attempting to win a one-on-one matchup with Titans rookie Peter Skoronski. While engaged with Skoronski, Jarrett began hopping around on one leg, finding a way to exit the field rather quickly before receiving further medical attention. He did not return to the game.<\/p>\n
A former fifth-round pick out of Clemson, Jarrett exceeded expectations for his career long ago. He’s earned an All-Pro selection and two trips to the Pro Bowl, and has played an important part along Atlanta’s defensive interior for the majority of the last decade.<\/p>\n
Fortunately for Jarrett, his 2023 salary was fully guaranteed. With a cap number exceeding $20 million in 2024 and 2025, we’ll see what the future holds for the 30-year-old defender.<\/p>\n
The sixth-ranked Falcons defense will undoubtedly miss him going forward.<\/p>\n
