Bralen Trice, a 2024 third-round pick, was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return after suffering a reinjury to the knee that required prior surgery and kept him out of his rookie season. The Falcons had kept Trice on the 53-man roster so he could return after Week 4, but the team acknowledged another surgery might be necessary. Trice recorded 16 sacks across his final two years at the University of Washington and was viewed as a high-motor pass rusher who could help Atlanta generate more quarterback pressure. This summer he had earned a role in the edge-rusher rotation, and the Falcons re-signed safety Jordan Fuller in response to Trice being placed on IR.
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- It is going to take even longer now for Atlanta Falcons edge rusher Bralen Trice to get his first regular-season snaps. Trice, a 2024 third-round pick, was placed on injured reserve Thursday with a designation to return. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Trice suffered a reinjury to the knee that required surgery last summer and forced Trice to miss his entire rookie season.
Trice, 24, had 16 sacks combined his final two years at the University of Washington and was considered a high-motor pass rusher coming out of college, someone who could help Atlanta's inability to get to the quarterback. This summer, Trice earned a spot in the edge-rusher rotation with rookies James Pearce Jr., Jalon Walker, Arnold Ebiketie and Leonard Floyd. The Falcons re-signed safety Jordan Fuller in a move corresponding with Trice being put on IR.
