Atlanta placed Burns (undisclosed) on its reserve-PUP list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The Falcons waived Burns on Monday after he failed a physical, but now he's back with the team since no other club claimed him during the last waiver period. Until he's healthy enough to play again, Carlos Washington could see increased reps at practice.

Falcons Odds & Projections
Atlanta placed Burns (undisclosed) on its reserve-PUP list Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The Falcons waived Burns on Monday after he failed a physical, but now he's back with the team since no other club claimed him during the last waiver period. Until he's healthy enough to play again, Carlos Washington could see increased reps at practice.
Head coach Raheem Morris announced that Hellams (ankle) will be out for an extended time, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Hellams suffered an ankle injury during Friday's preseason game versus the Dolphins and that will now force him to miss significant time. In his absence, Lukas Denis and Josh Thompson could be in line for more playing time.
Head coach Raheem Morris confirmed Monday that Trice tore his ACL in Friday's preseason loss to the Dolphins, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. Trice sustained the injury in the second quarter of Friday's game, and he was placed on the reserve/injured list Sunday. The rookie third-round pick out of Washington was set to play a key role in the Falcons' defense alongside starting outside linebackers Arnold Ebiketie and Lorenzo Carter. Trice will now turn his attention to rehabbing and recovering from his torn ACL and come back fully healthy for 2025.
King recorded three tackles (two solo), a forced fumble, two pass defenses and an interception during Friday's 20-13 preseason loss to the Dolphins. King is trying to revitalize his career and took a big step toward securing a roster spot during his first appearance in a Falcons' uniform. The 2017 second-round pick started 42 games for the Packers across five seasons but hasn't played since 2021 due to multiple devastating injuries. Atlanta has been rumored to be interested in the remaining free-agent CBs, but if King continues to play at this level, he may put those notions to rest.
Koo sported a sleeve on his kicking leg during Monday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Koo made both of his attempts during Atlanta's preseason opener, including a 53-yarder in the third quarter. The reasoning behind the leg sleeve remains unclear, but Ledbetter noted that Koo missed a 51-yard attempt during Monday's practice. Koo hasn't missed a game over the past three seasons.
Abernathy is expected to make the Falcons' initial 53-man roster, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. Abernathy, a 2022 UDFA, made 12 appearances for the Falcons in 2023, totaling 23 defensive snaps and 273 special-team snaps. While Abernathy's main role is expected to be on special teams, DeMarcco Hellams' long-term ankle injury may open up more secondary snaps early in 2024. Abernathy recorded four tackles (three solo) during Atlanta's preseason opener.
The Falcons placed Trice on the reserve/injured list Sunday due to a knee injury. Trice left with athletic trainers in the second quarter of Friday's 20-13 preseason loss to the Dolphins. The season-ending injury is a huge blow to the rookie third-round linebacker, who was playing snaps with both the first- and second-team defenses during training camp. James Smith-Williams, Demone Harris and Bradlee Anae are the main candidates to earn more snaps at outside linebacker behind starters Arnold Ebiketie and Lorenzo Carter with Trice shelved for the entire 2024 season.
Hand (knee) was placed on injured reserve Sunday and is out for the season, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports. The cornerback had to leave practice early Wednesday after going down following a deep pass during an 11-on-11 drill, and it was later revealed that he suffered a knee injury. Hand signed with the Falcons in June after getting waived by the Bears in April of 2023. The 2020 fifth-round pick of the Vikings last saw NFL action in 2022.
