- Falcons place running back on injured reserve list
The Atlanta Falcons have placed running back Trey Sermon on the reserve/injured list, ESPN's Marc Raidmondi reported on Wednesday afternoon. Sermon, a former third-round pick, signed with the Falcons last Monday and appeared in the team's preseason-opening loss to the Denver Broncos .
The 27-year-old finished with just one rushing attempt for three yards and was targeted one time in the passing game. It's unclear what injury Sermon sustained or when it occurred, but he will join former first-round pick Jalon Walker on IR for the time being.

Sermon was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The former Ohio State standout bounced around a bit before catching on with the Indianapolis Colts in 2023. He appeared in 31 games during his two years in Indy, rushing 319 yards and two touchdowns.
Sermon spent last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers but only contributed on special teams. Over his first five NFL seasons, the former Buckey rushed for 505 yards on 3.8 yards per attempt, while adding 22 catches for 138 receiving yards.
