Falcons pass rusher Bralen Trice made the teams initial 53-man roster, but was placed on IR-Designated to Return this morning and Raheem Morris announced in his press conference that Trice had suffered a setback on the same knee that cost him the entire season his rookie year.

The timeline for Trice to return is currently unknown, but he's going to be out at-least four weeks due to his IR designation, and it could be longer depending on the nature of his setback and what procedure is required to address the knee issue. Ultimately it could prove to be a second consecutive season-ending injury if the problem is not the best-case scenario.

Bralen Trice was drafted by the Falcons in the 3rd Round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but missed the entire season after tearing his ACL during the first preseason game of his rookie year.
