Atlanta Falcons Pro Bowl defensive tackle Grady Jarrett tore his ACL during Sunday’s game and will miss the rest of the season, ESPN and NFL Network reported.
An MRI revealed the damage Monday, per the reports.
Jarrett was injured on the fourth defensive play of the game during Sunday’s loss to the Tennessee Titans.
Jarrett, 30, had 23 tackles, 1.5 sacks and eight quarterback hits in eight starts this season. Jarrett has started every game he’s played in for the Falcons going back to the 2017 season. He earned Pro Bowl honors in 2019 and 2020.
Jarrett has 443 tackles, 34 sacks, five forced fumbles and 68 tackles for loss in 135 career games (120 starts) since the Falcons selected him in the fifth round of the 2015 draft.
He has been remarkably durable, missing only three games in his career — one in 2015 and two in 2018.
