The Falcons placed Roberts (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts suffered an ankle injury in this past Sunday's loss to Indianapolis, and the issue is serious enough to cause him to sit out at least the next four games. Roberts had been working in a rotational role prior to getting hurt, notching between a 30 percent and 43 percent defensive snap share each of the previous four weeks. Atlanta signed defensive lineman Kentavius Street to the active roster to take Roberts' place in a corresponding move.

Roberts (knee) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus Carolina, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts left the game early in Week 10 at Indianapolis with a leg injury, and now he'll have to sit out at least one week as he recovers. If 2024 fourth-rounder Brandon Dorlus (oblique) can go Sunday, he might be in line for an expanded role on the defensive line with Roberts out.

Roberts (knee/ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts left Sunday's game against the Colts with an ankle injury. It's unclear when the knee injury occurred, though he'll have to overcome both issues to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

Roberts was forced out of Sunday's game against the Colts in Berlin in the first quarter due to an ankle injury and is considered questionable to return, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts registered one tackle before checking out of the game due to the injury. The fourth-year nose tackle typically handles a rotational role along the Atlanta defensive line, as he's played less than 50 percent of the snaps in each of his prior four appearances on the season.

Roberts registered four tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Atlanta's 24-14 win over Buffalo on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The 2022 sixth-rounder registered the first sack of his four-year NFL career early in the fourth quarter. Roberts was a healthy scratch for the Falcons' first four games of the regular season but was active for Monday's contest due to LaCale London being sidelined with a triceps injury. Roberts ended up playing 23 snaps on defense and could serve in a rotational role for the Falcons' Week 7 road tilt against the 49ers if London is not cleared to play.

Carolina hosted Roberts (undisclosed) for a tryout Friday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts was waived from the Bears' practice squad/injured list Oct. 2 due to an unspecified issue. He appears to be over the injury and he's looking to catch on with a team in need of interior line depth. Roberts played in seven regular-season games for the Patriots in 2023 and finished with five tackles (two solo).

Roberts (undisclosed) was cut from the Bears practice-squad injury list with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts was placed on Chicago's practice-squad injured list late last week with an undisclosed injury, but he will now be free to sign elsewhere if he passes a physical. The defensive tackle appeared in seven games with the Patriots in 2023, recording five total tackles (two solo).

Roberts (undisclosed) was placed on the Bears' practice-squad injured list Thursday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts' move to the injured list will keep him out of action for at least the next four weeks, making him ineligible to be elevated to the active roster during that span.
