EDGE Analysis

Verdon (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Verdon ended the week with back-to-back full practices, but he is not quite ready to make his season debut. He opened the season on the NFI list due to a shoulder injury he presumably sustained during the offseason. The undrafted rookie's next chance to play is Week 13 against the Jets on Sunday, Nov. 30.

The Falcons moved Verdon to the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday, Terrin Waack, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site report.
EDGE Analysis
Verdon missed all of training camp due to an undisclosed issue. By starting the season on the NFI list, he'll be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, making Week 6 against the Bills on Monday, Oct. 13 the earliest he can return.

Atlanta placed Verdon (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Thursday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Verdon's injury isn't known, but he'll be eligible to participate in practices and preseason games once he's fully recovered. He signed with the Falcons in May as an undrafted free agent following his final season at Iowa State, where he recorded 75 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sack, five pass defenses (one interception) and one fumble recovery across 12 games.
