Hageman (undisclosed) was waived off injured reserve by the Falcons on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Hageman was waived/injured by Atlanta in September after serving his two-game suspension, and he's since been on injured reserve after clearing waivers. The 2014 second-round pick hasn't seen game action since the 2016 campaign.

EDGE Analysis
The designation will likely end Hageman's season. Grady Jarrett and Tyeler Davison currently man the interior defensive line for the Falcons.

The Falcons waived/injured Hageman (suspension) on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Hageman served his two-game suspension with the Falcons during the first two contests of the 2019 season. The 2014 second-round pick likely is bound for injured reserve once he clears waivers.

Hageman's locker in the Falcons' facility has been cleared out, and it's possible that the veteran defensive lineman will not return after serving his two-game suspension to begin the regular season, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old Hageman has dealt with injuries this summer (neck, hamstring, groin among the troubled areas), and his ability to contribute immediately is eliminated due to his early-season ban. Hageman was only able to get on the field for two of Atlanta's five exhibition games this August, playing on five and 23 percent of his team's defensive snaps in those contests and collecting just one tackle overall. If backup interior linemen Jack Crawford, Allen Bailey and Deadrin Senat struggle in the early going, it would amplify Hageman's likelihood to get playing time during the regular season.

Hageman (neck) isn't expected to play in Thursday's preseason game at Jacksonville due to a hamstring injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hageman exited last week's preseason game with a stinger, but its a hamstring issue that will keep him from Thursday's contest. The 29-year-old is fighting for a roster spot after a two-year hiatus, but the multiple injuries -- plus a two-game suspension -- will make it difficult for him to last through roster cutdowns.

Hageman suffered a stinger during Thursday's preseason loss to Washington, NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hageman was forced out of the game due to the injury. It's unclear how serious the issue is or to what degree it'll hinder the 29-year-old in his pursuit of a roster spot and a successful comeback from a two-season hiatus. If Hageman does manage to stick to the roster, he'll have to miss the first two games of the season while he serves a suspension.

Hageman (suspension) collected one tackle during Thursday's 19-7 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Hageman sat out Atlanta's second and third preseason games against the Jets and Dolphins, having suffered a groin injury during the Hall of Fame Game loss to Denver. The 29-year-old is attempting a comeback after a two-season hiatus from the NFL, but will have to serve a two-game suspension before being permitted to return to regular-season action. He's facing an uphill battle to a roster spot at a crowded position group, but may be brought on for depth in Week 3 depending on how the unit looks in his absence.

Hageman (groin) participated at practice Sunday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hageman suffered the groin injury during the first half of the preseason opener against the Broncos, but he's apparently good to go after about a week off. The 29-year-old will start the season with a two-game suspension, assuming he cracks the Falcons' 53-man roster.

Hageman has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's preseason opener against the Broncos due to a groin injury, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hageman suffered a groin injury in the first half of Thursday's game. The 28-year-old has not played in the league since 2016 and faces a two-game suspension should he ultimately make the Falcons' final 53-man roster. The severity of his groin injury is not known at this time.

Hageman (suspension) signed a contract with the Falcons on Friday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hageman has not played in the NFL since 2016, and despite being suspended for two games by the league earlier this month, the Falcons have elected to give him a second chance after legal troubles led to his release a few years ago. Atlanta does have an opening at defensive tackle following the departure of Terrell McClain, but Hageman will likely have to prove his behavior is in check before having a shot at the team's final roster.
