"A hamstring injury led to earlier missed time in Bowman's case but when on the field he has logged a defensive snap share of 80%. The Oklahoma product has joined fellow rookie Xavier Watts as a regular presence in the secondary and thus played a central role in the Falcons' youth movement on defense. In six games, Bowman has recorded one interception, 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble while serving as Atlanta's top slot corner."
"Joining Bowman on IR is Zach Harrison. The third-year defensive lineman is dealing with a knee injury and will be unavailable for an extended period as a result. Harrison missed only one game across his first two seasons with Atlanta, but a notable stretch on the sidelines will now be in store. The 24-year-old has become a starter in 2025 with the Falcons beginning the post-Grady Jarrett period along the defensive interior."
Billy Bowman Jr. suffered an Achilles injury during a walk-through and will miss at least the next four games. The Falcons placed Bowman on injured reserve, signaling a longer absence. Bowman had previously missed time with a hamstring but had logged an 80% defensive snap share when healthy and served as Atlanta's top slot corner alongside rookie Xavier Watts. In six games he recorded one interception, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble. Zach Harrison was also placed on IR with a knee injury after becoming a starter and posting 4.5 sacks and five tackles for loss in seven games. Atlanta made no immediate corresponding additions to the active roster.
