Falcons' Adetokunbo Ogundeji: Lands on IR
The Falcons have placed Ogundeji (foot) on injured reserve, Terrin Waack of the Falcons official website reports.
Ogundeji was carted off the practice field Monday after suffering a foot injury. The 24-year-old has been a starter in Atlanta since being drafted in 2021 as a fifth-round pick out of Notre Dame. With Ikenna Enechukwu (undisclosed) also on IR, the Falcons are already getting a little thin at outside linebacker before the season has even kicked off. Thus, it would not be surprising to see them bring in some more competition.

Falcons' Adetokunbo Ogundeji: Suffers injury during practice
Ogundeji suffered a foot injury in practice Monday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Ogundeji's injury details are unclear, but he'll be seeking a second opinion regarding them today, according to head coach Arthur Smith. The Notre Dame product is expected to hold a rotational role in the team's linebacker corps once again this season, but he'll need to get healthy first to do so.

Falcons' Adetokunbo Ogundeji: Practices fully Thursday
Ogundeji (shoulder) practiced as a full participant Thursday.
Ogundeji suffered a shoulder injury during the team's Week 5 matchup against Tampa Bay and missed Sunday's contest versus the 49ers as a result. However, his ability to practice in full Thursday suggests he's moved past the issue, and he'll likely continue hovering around 50 percent of Atlanta's defensive snaps Sunday against the Bengals.

Falcons' Adetokunbo Ogundeji: Listed as questionable for Sunday
Ogundeji is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a shoulder injury.
Ogundeji presumably picked up the shoulder injury during the team's Week 5 loss to Tampa Bay and was limited at each practice ahead of Week 6. If the second-year linebacker is unable to suit up, rookie second-round pick Arnold Ebiketie would likely step into an expanded pass-rushing role against San Francisco.

Falcons' Adetokunbo Ogundeji: Draws start in preseason opener
Ogundeji played seven snaps but didn't record any counting stats during Friday's preseason opener against the Lions.
Ogundeji was listed as the starting outside linebacker opposite of Lorenzo Carter and, along with the rest of the starters, played just one defensive series. The 2021 fifth-round pick appeared in 17 games as a rookie and registered 33 tackles and one sack. However, with Dante Fowler gone, Ogundeji appears to have a good shot at opening the 2022 season with an increased role along Atlanta's defensive front.

The rookie fifth-round selection has 24 tackles (14 solo) with one sack, one passed defensed and a fumble recovery in a reserve role in the Falcons' linebacker unit.

Falcons' Adetokunbo Ogundeji: Blocks field goal Sunday
Ogundeji registered two tackles (one solo) and blocked a field-goal attempt during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Dolphins.
Ogundeji was expected to see an increased role during Week 7 with Dante Fowler (knee) on injured reserve. The rookie fifth-round pick's production was lackluster, but he displayed his playmaking ability by blocking a 49-yard field-goal attempt at the beginning of the second quarter. While the Notre Dame product is talented, he will likely remain unplayable in IDP formats until his production starts to match his ability.

With The Athletic reporting that Dante Fowler has been placed in injured reserve, Ogundeji is expected to see in an increased role on the Falcons' defense.
Ogundeji has recorded just five tackles (four solo) and one sack in the three games he has seen action on the field for this season. The Notre Dame product was taken in the fifth round in the NFL Draft this past offseason. He will now have an opportunity to make an impression.
