The Atlanta Falcons have designated a linebacker to return from injured reserve, according to a report from Falcons Wire on Wednesday. The move opens a 21-day window for the unnamed player to practice with the team before being activated to the 53-man roster.
Matt Urben of Falcons Wire reported the transaction on November 4, 2026. The specific linebacker and the nature of the injury were not disclosed in the initial report. Under NFL rules, a player designated for return from injured reserve may practice immediately but cannot play in games until formally activated.
