The Falcons and Eagles made roster moves Tuesday, while the Rams wait on Puka Nacua’s availability for Sunday’s Week 3 road game against the Denver Broncos.
Key takeaways
- Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell has gone on injured reserve with a groin injury and must miss a minimum of four games.
- Atlanta elevated defensive lineman Zach Harrison from its practice squad to the 53-man roster.
- Rams receiver Puka Nacua remains uncertain for Week 3 after missing Monday’s victory over the Giants because of a hip issue.
- Tight end Zach Ertz has returned to Philadelphia after spending more than nine seasons with the Eagles earlier in his career.
- Cornerback Kenny Moore is expected to join Philadelphia on a one-year contract that could reach $3 million.
Falcons reshuffle roster after Terrell injury
Atlanta placed Terrell on injured reserve, sidelining the starting cornerback for at least the next four games. The groin injury creates an immediate challenge for the Falcons’ secondary as the club moves through the early portion of the schedule.
The Falcons filled one active-roster opening by signing Harrison from the practice squad. Offensive lineman Colby Sorsdal was added to the practice squad, while center James Brockermeyer was released from that unit.
Rams monitor Nacua as Eagles bring back familiar faces
Nacua did not play in the Rams’ Monday win over the New York Giants after hurting his hip. Sean McVay said the wide receiver’s status has not yet been determined for Los Angeles’ Sunday matchup in Denver, though the coach expressed hope that Nacua will be ready to return.
Philadelphia brought Ertz back to the organization, reuniting with a tight end who became one of the franchise’s most productive players during his first Eagles stint. Ertz spent the first nine-plus years of his NFL career in Philadelphia and earned three Pro Bowl selections there.
The Eagles are also expected to add Moore on a one-year agreement with a maximum value of $3 million, giving the secondary an experienced veteran option.
