Jake Hanson C | ATL
Jake Hanson: Let go from Atlanta's IR
The Falcons released Hanson (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Tuesday, Terrin Waack, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.
Hanson was set to miss the entire 2025 season after landing on the Falcons' IR due to an undisclosed injury. However, the injury settlement will allow the 2020 sixth-round pick to sign with a team once he's fully healthy.

Storm Norton OT | ATL
Falcons' Storm Norton: Placed on injured reserve
The Falcons placed Norton (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday with a designation to return, Terrin Waack, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.
Norton missed all three of the Falcons' preseason games due to an ankle injury, which was severe enough for him to require surgery this past Tuesday. He'll start the season on IR and be required to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, which makes the Falcons' Week 6 clash against the Bills the earliest he can return. Jack Nelson is expected to serve as the Falcons' top reserve offensive tackle while Norton is sidelined.

Falcons' Malik Verdon: Will miss at least four games
The Falcons moved Verdon to the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday, Terrin Waack, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.
Verdon missed all of training camp due to an undisclosed issue. By starting the season on the NFI list, he'll be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, making Week 6 against the Bills on Monday, Oct. 13 the earliest he can return.

Liam Eichenberg OT | MIA
Dolphins' Liam Eichenberg: Moves to reserve/PUP list
Eichenberg (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/PUP list by the Dolphins on Tuesday.
The designation means that the offensive guard will have to miss at least the first four regular-season games. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said in July that Eichenberg would have to miss several weeks, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, though at that point he was still expected back for the start of the regular season. The 2021 second-round pick started 14 of 17 regular-season games for Miami in 2024 and has started 53 of the 61 games he's played in during his career, regular season and postseason.

Josh Harris LS | LAC
Chargers' Josh Harris: Placed on IR, designated to return
Harris (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return Tuesday.
Harris is dealing with an undisclosed injury, and he will now be forced to miss at least the first four games of the 2025 season. The long snapper has played in all 17 regular-season games with the Chargers over each of the last three years, so it appears as if his role is safe with the team once he's healthy.

Kendall Sheffield CB | MIA
Kendall Sheffield: Gets released with injury waiver
Miami released Sheffield (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Sheffield couldn't earn a spot on the Dolphins' final 53-man roster after joining the team back in May, and now he's getting cut. The injury settlement he negotiated with the team means he'll be eligible to suit up as soon as he's fully healthy again.

Ta'Quon Graham DT | ATL
Falcons' Ta'Quon Graham: Starting season on IR
The Falcons placed Graham (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday with a designation to return, Terrin Waack, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.
The nature and severity of Graham's injury isn't clear, but the 2021 fifth-rounder will be required to miss at least the first four games of the season. His first chance to make his 2025 regular-season debut will be Week 6 against the Bills on Monday, Oct. 13.

Myles Hinton OT | PHI
Eagles' Myles Hinton: Lands on IR
Hinton (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
A sixth-round rookie out of Michigan, Hinton dealt with a myriad of injuries during college, but it's unclear what's holding him out now. Hinton will be required to miss at least four games to begin the season. Once he's cleared, he'll likely land in a reserve role.

Eugene Asante LB | MIA
Eugene Asante: Waived with injury settlement
Asante (ankle) was waived by the Dolphins with an injury settlement Tuesday.
Asante suffered an ankle injury in the Dolphins' preseason finale against the Jaguars. Despite having an impressive training camp, the rookie linebacker was unable to make it past the final roster cuts. Asante will now focus on his recovery and will be able to sign with another team once he's healthy.

Jalen McLeod LB | JAC
Jaguars' Jalen McLeod: Placed on IR, designated to return
McLeod (lower body) was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return Tuesday.
McLeod suffered a lower-body injury at practice in early August, and he will now be forced to miss at least four games to open the 2025 campaign. In McLeod's absence, Ventrell Miller and Dennis Gardeck may stand to see an increase in workload at outside linebacker.
