Falcons place defensive end Samson Ebukam on injured reserve with a hamstring injury

The Atlanta Falcons have placed defensive end Samson Ebukam on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Ebukam was signed by the team last offseason to provide additional edge rushers and has recorded 11 tackles (including two for loss), 2.5 sacks, and nine quarterback hits in seven games this season. Atlanta head coach Kevin Stefanski announced on Monday that both Ebukam and wide receiver Zachariah Branch are suffering from hamstring injuries, which will keep them out of the upcoming game against Cincinnati in Madrid, Spain.

Ebukam is expected to miss at least four games. Additionally, the Falcons added defensive end Drake Jackson to their practice squad and released offensive lineman Colby Sorsdal from the practice squad.
