Falcons' JD Bertrand: On the field for OTAs
Bertrand (eye) is participating in OTAs, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
Bertrand closed his rookie season on the sidelines with an eye injury, though the issue is now behind him. He could be in line for a key reserve role in the middle of Atlanta's defense while also serving on special teams in 2025.

Falcons' JD Bertrand: Won't play in regular-season finale
Bertrand (eye) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
An eye injury limited Bertrand in practice all week, and the issue is severe enough for the rookie fifth-rounder to miss the final game of the regular season. He'll end his first NFL regular season with 23 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, over 12 games. Josh Woods will be the primary backup at inside linebacker behind starters Kaden Elliss and Nate Landman due to Bertrand's injury.

Falcons' JD Bertrand: Questionable for Sunday
Bertrand (eye) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
The rookie linebacker from Notre Dame was limited in practice throughout the week due to an eye issue, but it appears he still has a chance to suit up for the Week 18 divisional matchup. If Bertrand is unable to play Sunday, Josh Woods will likely serve as the Falcons' top reserve inside linebacker.

Falcons' JD Bertrand: Good to go vs. Bolts
Bertrand (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Bertrand missed the Falcons' last three games due to a concussion. He was able to log consecutive full practices to end the week, and he has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game. The rookie fifth-round pick has logged 10 tackles (seven solo) across eight regular-season games.

Falcons' JD Bertrand: Missing another week
Bertrand (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Bertrand downgraded to a DNP on Friday after opening the Falcons' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions. The rookie from Notre Dame must still pass through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before taking the field again. Expect Rashaan Evans to serve as one of the Falcons' top rotational inside linebackers until Bertrand returns.

Falcons' JD Bertrand: Out for Sunday
Bertrand (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

Falcons' JD Bertrand: Will be sidelined Week 9
Bertrand (concussion) won't play against the Cowboys on Sunday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Bertrand was concussed in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay and hasn't cleared the NFL's five-step protocol. The linebacker logged 73 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 5 but has otherwise played primarily on special teams. Bertrand's absence Sunday could pave the way for Rashaan Evans, who was signed to the 53-player roster Friday, to see some work on defense immediately.

Falcons' JD Bertrand: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Bertrand (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Bertrand played 37 total snaps (16 defensive and 21 on special teams) and recorded two total tackles in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay, however, it appears he picked up a concussion in the process. He'll need to clear the NFL's five-step protocol in order to suit up in Week 9, when the Falcons host the Cowboys.

Falcons' JD Bertrand: Set for start Thursday
Bertrand is positioned to start Thursday's divisional matchup against the Buccaneers due to Troy Andersen (knee) being ruled out and Nate Landman (calf) still on IR, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
Bertrand, a rookie fifth-round pick, will be tasked with taking on a starting role after being mostly limited to special teams to begin his career. He played eight defensive snaps (11 percent) versus the Saints in Week 4 after playing just one defensive snap, the first of his NFL career, in Week 3. Andersen, while filling in for Landman in Week 2 and Week 3, played 94 and 99 percent of defensive snaps, so Bertrand could be thrust into a similar spotlight role versus Tampa Bay's offense.
