Falcons' Grady Jarrett: Suffers torn ACL

Jarrett (knee) sustained a season-ending ACL tear during Sunday's loss to the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jarrett's loss is a huge blow for the Falcons' defensive front, but it primes LaCale London (knee) to be thrust into an expanded role starting in Week 9 versus Minnesota, assuming he can get healthy himself. The 30-year-old Jarrett, who has two years left on his contract but carries a relatively painless $8.25 million dead cap hit for next season if he gets cut, will work to recover in time for the start of the 2024 campaign.
