The Falcons placed Jarrett (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Arthur Smith confirmed Monday that Jarrett tore his ACL in the first quarter of the Falcons' Week 8 loss to the Titans on Sunday. Jarrett had only missed three games in his career since being taken by the Falcons in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft and started in 120 of 135 appearances. He finishes the 2023 season with 23 tackles (nine solo), including 1.5 sacks, in eight games.

Jarrett (knee) sustained a season-ending ACL tear during Sunday's loss to the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jarrett's loss is a huge blow for the Falcons' defensive front, but it primes LaCale London (knee) to be thrust into an expanded role starting in Week 9 versus Minnesota, assuming he can get healthy himself. The 30-year-old Jarrett, who has two years left on his contract but a relatively painless $8.25 million dead cap hit for next season if he gets cut, will work to recover in time for the start of the 2024 campaign.

Jarrett has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's game against Tennessee due to a knee injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jarrett injured his knee early in the contest, and he's since been deemed unable to return. LaCale London took over for Jarrett after the latter's departure but headed to the medical tent with an injury of his own in the third quarter. The Falcons' defensive interior could be razor thin if London's injury keeps him sidelined as well.

Jarrett hurt his knee during the first quarter of Sunday's game against Tennessee and is questionable to return, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jarrett's injury occurred early in the contest, and he subsequently headed to the locker room. His potential absence would be a major blow against Derrick Henry and the Titans' offense. LaCale London has stepped in to replace Jarrett for the time being.

Jarrett recorded three tackles (two solo), including a half-sack, in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Panthers.

Jarrett registered five tackles (three solo) and one sack during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

Jarrett notched five tackles (four solo), including three for loss, and one sack during Sunday's 27-23 win over the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Jarrett was in the backfield on multiple occasions to shut down Seattle's rushing attack, but his lone sack couldn't have come at a better time. After a costly fumble by Marcus Mariota late in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks were driving, but Jarrett sacked Geno Smith for a 10-yard loss on third-and-eight, and on the ensuing fourth down, Richie Grant sealed the victory with an interception. Across the first three games of the season, Jarrett has totaled 11 tackles (seven solo) and 2.5 sacks.

Jarrett recorded five tackles (three solo) and 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 27-26 loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Jarrett's first sack came on a first-and-10 play in the second quarter, and his split sack with Lorenzo Carter came a few drives later on a third-and-five. The veteran defensive end was expected to be more versatile this year after the Falcons defense lost Foye Oluokun and Dante Fowler this offseason, and Jarrett took full advantage of his new role in Week 1. He's already surpassed his sack total from a year ago and looks poised for a bounce-back campaign during his eighth year with the franchise.

Jarrett said Wednesday that he'll play all over the defensive line in 2022, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jarrett said he's most comfortable at three-technique and nose tackle, but he's gaining experience at pretty much every alignment during training camp. The 2015 fifth-round pick signed a three-year, $51 million extension this offseason, and his increased versatility appears to be a key factor for the Falcons' new defensive coordinator, Dean Pees. Jarrett's new role should bode well for his overall fantasy production in 2022 after he tied his career low with one sack last year.
