FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons placed defensive lineman Sam Roberts on injured reserve and signed defensive lineman Kentavius Street to the active roster.
These moves come the Friday before the Falcons' Week 11 rematch with the Carolina Panthers in Atlanta.
Roberts injured his ankle during the first quarter of the Falcons’ Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Berlin. He played only four defensive snaps, assisting in a tackle, before his departure.
The Falcons originally signed Roberts back on Sept. 6, right before the Falcons’ Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played in five games for Atlanta, starting in the Week 8 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He totaled 18 tackles, along with a sack.
Street, meanwhile, was initially signed to the Falcons' practice squad at the start of the season. He has yet to play in 2025. Street, though, appeared in 18 games, starting five, for the Falcons between 2023-24. He made 29 tackles, two sacks, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery.
The Falcons-Panthers game is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET Sunday inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
