Falcons' Michael Bennett: Placed on IR
The Falcons placed Bennett (ankle) on injured reserve Friday.
No surprise here, as Bennett suffered a broken ankle at practice earlier in the week. Injuries have been an issue for Bennett, as he also missed most of the 2017 season due to a torn pectoral and was sidelined during this spring's OTAs with a hand injury. The 26-year-old will now look forward to at working through another recovery process.

Falcons' Michael Bennett: Suffers major injury at practice
Bennett broke his ankle at practice Monday and is out indefinitely, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Bennett did enough in his two-game midseason audition with the Falcons to draw a reserve deal for 2019, but unfortunately he just continues to be besieged by injury. Bennett missed nearly the entire 2017 season with the Jaguars due to a torn pectoral, and he also suffered a left hand injury during OTAs last month prior to Monday's mishap. With Bennett now presumed out for an extended period of time, Justin Zimmer, Ra'Shede Hageman and Jacob Tuioti-Mariner will compete for roster spots behind Grady Jarrett, Jack Crawford, Tyeler Davison and Deadrin Senat.
