Cowboys' Matt Hennessy: Placed on reserve/injured list
Rotowire
The Cowboys placed Hennessy (neck) on the reserve/injured list Thursday.
This was an expected move, as Hennessy underwent neck surgery in early June. The center currently has no return timeline, but considering he was placed on IR before cut-down day in late August, he's out for the season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Dallas.

Atlanta placed Hennessy (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
Hennessy suffered a knee injury in late July and was sidelined for two weeks, despite optimism that the issue was minor. However, the 2020 third-round pick, who's dealt with lingering knee issues for two years, will now be forced to miss the entire 2023 campaign, barring an injury settlement. In his absence, rookie second-round pick Matthew Bergeron is slated to start at right guard to open the regular season.

Falcons' Matt Hennessy: Set to return next week
Rotowire
Head coach Arthur Smith told reporters Saturday that Hennessy (knee), who left practice Friday, is expected to return next week and will be back "sooner than later," Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Hennessy went down during 11-on-11 drills Friday and got an MRI done on his knee. It seems like he has avoided serious injury, with Smith adding that the results were "good news." Hennessy was practicing with the first-team offense at left guard to start training camp and will look to resume that role once healthy.
