Falcons place Samson Ebukam on IR, sign Drake Jackson to practice squad

The Atlanta Falcons have placed edge rusher Samson Ebukam on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. He will miss at least the next four games following his absence from the Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Drake Jackson, a former second-round pick, has returned to the Falcons' practice squad after being released from the 53-man roster earlier this week. Meanwhile, edge rusher James Pearce Jr. is set to return from suspension before the game against the Bengals in Madrid, Spain.
