Upgrades to full practice
Jarrett (knee) practiced in full Thursday.
Analysis: Jarrett was limited in practice Wednesday, but practicing in full Thursday puts him on track to return from a three-game absence and suit up Sunday on the road against Baltimore, barring any setbacks. With Jarrett back in the lineup, both Chris Williams and Shemar Turner figure to have their snap counts on defense reduced. Turner did not suit up for Chicago's first two regular-season games, when Jarrett was fully healthy.

Logs limited practice Wednesday
Jarrett (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: Jarrett has missed each of Chicago's past three contests while dealing with a knee injury. He did return to a limited practice last Friday but wasn't cleared to suit up in this past Sunday's win over New Orleans. Jarrett has a chance to make his return this Sunday against Baltimore, though how he does in practice the next two days could ultimately determine whether he'll suit up.

Won't play Week 7
Jarrett (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Saturday that Jarrett was expected to play Week 7, but the veteran defensive lineman has not progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to return Sunday. Jarrett will be sidelined for a third consecutive game, and his absence means Shemar Turner, Andrew Billings and Chris Williams will continue to see more rotational snaps at defensive tackle. Jarrett's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Trending toward playing vs. NOLA
Jarrett (knee) is questionable to play against the Saints on Sunday but is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jarrett missed the Bears' last two games due to a knee injury that has lingered since the beginning of the regular season. He opened the week with back-to-back DNPs before practicing in a limited capacity Friday, which earned him the questionable tag for Week 7. Even if he's expected to play, Jarrett's status may not be officially known until the Bears announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Jarrett's return would mean less…read more

Jarrett (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: Jarrett upgraded to limited participation in practice Friday after DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. He last suited up in Week 3 against Dallas.

Won't play against Washington
Jarrett (knee) didn't practice Saturday and has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Commanders.
Analysis: Even with the Bears on the Week 5 bye, Jarrett will miss a second consecutive game due to a knee injury that has lingered since early September. Jarrett was unable to practice this past week, and he'll focus on returning to the field in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Bears' Week 7 home clash against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Out in Week 4
Jarrett (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Raiders.
Analysis: The 32-year-old has been dealing with a knee injury since the beginning of September, and after a week of no practice participation, he'll miss his first game of the season in Week 4. Jarrett has tallied four total tackles over 120 defensive snaps in his first three contests as a Bear. In his absence, Chris Williams is likely to play a larger role on Chicago's defensive line.

Active for Week 2
Jarrett (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Lions.
Analysis: After playing 39 defensive snaps and recording three tackles in Chicago's Week 1 loss to the Vikings, Jarrett opened Week 2 prep with back-to-back DNPs before logging a limited session Friday. The veteran missed only three regular-season games over his first eight seasons in the NFL. However, he was sidelined for the second half of 2023 due to an ACL tear and posted modest numbers in his return last season, prompting the Falcons to release him this offseason in a cap-saving move.

Questionable for Week 2
Jarrett (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
Analysis: The veteran defensive lineman opened the Bears' week of practice with consecutive DNPs due to a knee injury. However, he upgraded to limited work Friday, suggesting he's got a chance to suit up Sunday. Jarrett played 39 defensive snaps in Chicago's Week 1 loss to the Vikings, recording three total tackles. If he's unable to go in Week 2, rookie second-round pick Shemar Turner will likely make his first NFL start.

Logs another DNP
Jarrett (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Jarrett has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a knee injury that he likely picked up during the Bears' Week 1 loss to the Vikings. The 2015 fifth-rounder would have to return to practice Friday in at least a limited capacity to have a realistic shot at playing Sunday against the Lions. Andrew Billings is the top candidate to start alongside Gervon Dexter at defensive tackle if Jarrett is not cleared to play.

Estimated as non-participant
Jarrett (knee) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Bears' walkthrough Wednesday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Jarrett played 39 defensive snaps and two snaps on special teams in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings, recording three total tackles (one solo) in the contest. The defensive tackle may have picked up a knee injury in the process, but it's also possible that Wednesday was just a scheduled day off for the veteran. Jarrett's status at practice the rest of the week will provide more clarity to his availability for Week 2 versus Detroit.

Finds new home immediately
Jarrett and the Bears reached agreement Monday on a three-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Released by Atlanta earlier in the day, Jarrett waited only a few hours before agreeing to a contract that's reportedly worth $43.5 million, including $28.5 million guaranteed. He's long been one of the NFL's better interior pass rushers, but he had just 2.5 sacks last season after suffering an ACL tear in 2023. He did play all 17 games in 2024, and his peripheral pass-rush numbers (e.g. 12 QB hits) were more impressive than the lackluster sack total. The Bears apparently have high hopes for…read more

Tenure in Atlanta at an end
The Falcons are in line to release Jarrett, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jarrett, a 2015 fifth-round pick, has played the entirety of his 10-year NFL career to date in Atlanta, making the team's decision to move on from the two-time Pro Bowler somewhat unexpected. The 31-year-old came back from an ACL tear suffered in 2023 to play all 17 regular-season games in 2024, racking up 53 tackles (30 solo), including 2.5 sacks. His release saves the Falcons roughly $12.1 million in cap space, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com.

Records 53 stops in 2024
Jarrett finished the 2024 season with 53 total tackles (30 solo), including 2.5 sacks, over 17 games.
Analysis: Jarrett was able to appear in all 17 of Atlanta's contests this season, reaching at least 50 takedowns for the seventh time in his 10-year NFL career. The defensive lineman is still under contract for another season with the Falcons and will likely operate in a starting role with the team again in 2025.

Past Achilles issue
Jarrett (Achilles) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
Analysis: Jarrett popped up on the Falcons' injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to an Achilles issue. However, he upgraded to a full session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his injury in time to face Denver on Sunday. Now that the Clemson product is back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Falcons' top interior defensive lineman in Week 11.

Limited Thursday
Jarrett (Achilles) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Jarrett injured his Achilles in Week 9 against the Cowboys, but that didn't prevent him from playing against the Saints this past Sunday. Unless he downgrades to a DNP on Friday, the 2015 fifth-round pick should be able to suit up against Denver on Sunday. Jarrett has registered 19 tackles (16 solo), including 2.5 sacks, through the first 10 games of the regular season.

Estimated as limited Wednesday
Jarrett (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Jarrett is considered day-to-day due to an Achilles injury he picked up during the Falcons' 27-21 win over the Cowboys this past Sunday. Even if he's able to log a full practice this week, that doesn't guarantee that he'll be given the green light to play Sunday against the Saints. If Jarrett were to miss time or play on a snap count, Kentavius Street and Ta'Quon Graham would be the top candidates to see increased snaps at defensive end.

Day-to-day with Achilles issue
Jarrett (Achilles) told reporters that he's considered day-to-day following a promising MRI on Monday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 31-year-old defensive tackle played 31 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, before exiting Week 9's win over the Cowboys with what appeared to be a serious injury. However, Kendall's report Monday suggests that Jarrett could return as soon as Week 10's matchup against the Saints. Jarrett's practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up in New Orleans on Sunday.

Makes presence felt in Week 1
Jarrett recorded three tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Jarrett mustered only 1.5 sacks across eight appearances before tearing his ACL last year, but he's back to full strength and making his presence felt in Atlanta's new-look 3-4 defense. Jarrett recorded a career-high 7.5 sacks in 2019, but since then, he's totaled just 12.5 sacks over his last four seasons.

Cleared for start of camp
Jarrett (knee) has been medically cleared for the start of training camp this week, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official website reports.
Analysis: Jarrett tore his ACL in Week 8 against the Titans last season but is healthy enough to get on the field for the start of camp. Coach Raheem Morris, however, said Jarrett will receiver "modified reps" this summer as he continues to work his way back from the injury. Now 31 years old, Jarrett isn't someone who needs a whole lot of practice reps in order to be ready for the season, though it is worth noting Morris is bringing a new defensive scheme to Atlanta.

Not handling drills at minicamp
Coach Raheem Morris said at practice Tuesday that Jarrett (knee) is still not handling "anything at any speed in terms of team work or drill work" as he continues to rehab from a right ACL tear, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jarrett missed all but eight games in 2023, recording 23 total tackles and 1.5 sacks. The 31-year-old veteran was never a likely candidate to be back on the field for June minicamp, but training camp in July could see him take further steps forward in his recovery. When recovered, Jarrett will join rookie second-round pick Ruke Orhorhoro and second-year pro Zach Harrison (knee) as a key piece of Atlanta's defensive front.

Gets ACL surgery
Jarrett announced Tuesday via social media that he underwent successful surgery to address a torn ACL in his right knee.
Analysis: Jarrett was placed on injured reserve last week, just two days after he tore his ACL in the Falcons' Week 8 loss to the Titans. He'll now begin the recovery process from surgery, but assuming he hits no snags in his rehab, Jarrett should have a chance at being fully cleared when training camps open in late July. The 30-year-old defensive tackle appeared in eight games for Atlanta this season, logging 23 total tackles and 1.5 sacks.

Moved on IR
The Falcons placed Jarrett (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Head coach Arthur Smith confirmed Monday that Jarrett tore his ACL in the first quarter of the Falcons' Week 8 loss to the Titans on Sunday. Jarrett had only missed three games in his career since being taken by the Falcons in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft and started in 120 of 135 appearances. He finishes the 2023 season with 23 tackles (nine solo), including 1.5 sacks, in eight games.

Suffers torn ACL
Jarrett (knee) sustained a season-ending ACL tear during Sunday's loss to the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jarrett's loss is a huge blow for the Falcons' defensive front, but it primes LaCale London (knee) to be thrust into an expanded role starting in Week 9 versus Minnesota, assuming he can get healthy himself. The 30-year-old Jarrett, who has two years left on his contract but carries a relatively painless $8.25 million dead cap hit for next season if he gets cut, will work to recover in time for the start of the 2024 campaign.

Won't return to Week 8 action
Jarrett has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's game against Tennessee due to a knee injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Jarrett injured his knee early in the contest, and he's since been deemed unable to return. LaCale London took over for Jarrett after the latter's departure but headed to the medical tent with an injury of his own in the third quarter. The Falcons' defensive interior could be razor thin if London's injury keeps him sidelined as well.

Records sack in win
Jarrett notched five tackles (four solo), including three for loss, and one sack during Sunday's 27-23 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Jarrett was in the backfield on multiple occasions to shut down Seattle's rushing attack, but his lone sack couldn't have come at a better time. After a costly fumble by Marcus Mariota late in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks were driving, but Jarrett sacked Geno Smith for a 10-yard loss on third down, and Richie Grant sealed the victory with an interception on the next play. Across the first three games of the season, Jarrett has totaled 11 tackles (seven solo) and 2.5 sacks.

Strong showing in season opener
Jarrett recorded five tackles (three solo) and 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 27-26 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Jarrett's first sack came in the second quarter, and his split sack with Lorenzo Carter came a few drives later on third down. The veteran defensive end was expected to be more versatile this year after the Falcons defense lost Foye Oluokun and Dante Fowler this offseason, and Jarrett took full advantage of his new role in Week 1. He's already surpassed his sack total from a year ago and looks poised for a resurgent campaign during his eighth year with the franchise.

Set to be more versatile in 2022
Jarrett said Wednesday that he'll play all over the defensive line in 2022, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Jarrett said he's most comfortable at three-technique and nose tackle, but he's gaining experience at pretty much every alignment during training camp. The 2015 fifth-round pick signed a three-year, $51 million extension this offseason, and his increased versatility appears to be a key factor for the Falcons' new defensive coordinator, Dean Pees. Jarrett's new role should bode well for his overall fantasy production in 2022 after he tied his career low with one sack last year.

Secures extension
Jarrett and the Falcons came to terms Tuesday on a three-year extension worth up to $51 million, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The deal includes $34.5 million fully guaranteed, according to Rapoport.
Analysis: The deal lowers Jarrett's cap figure for 2022 while simultaneously giving the star defensive lineman some added financial security. Though the one sack he recorded in 17 games in 2021 matched his lowest total since his rookie season in 2015, Jarrett remained effective as a run stopper with 59 tackles (38 solo).

Final year with Falcons on deck?
Jarrett (groin) is unlikely to remain in Atlanta after the 2021 season, Deen Worley of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Jarrett technically is under contract with the Falcons through 2022, but after the 2021 season his contract includes a potential out with just $7.3 million in dead money. The soon-to-be 28-year-old has been a rare defensive standout for Atlanta, with 17.5 sacks over the last three seasons. A strong 2021 campaign could even boost his potential trade value.

Day officially done
Jarrett (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: With Atlanta having no postseason aspirations left to play for, there's little reason to rush back the two-time Pro Bowler and defensive cornerstone. Jarrett closes out his 2020 campaign with a career-high 20 QB hits, though his four sacks represent a step down from his totals of six and 7.5 between 2018 and 2019, respectively. The 27-year-old also notched eight-plus tackles for loss in a fourth consecutive campaign.

Analysis: Jarrett has gone without a game absence over four of the past five seasons, but it's uncertain if he'll be able to return to his defensive tackle spot Sunday after suffering a first-half injury.

He's yet to miss a game this season, however, and he's coming off logging 84 percent of defensive snaps in last week's loss to the Chargers.

Jarrett (hip) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jarrett was limited in Friday's practice, but he handled 78 percent of defensive snaps Week 4 while playing through the lingering hip injury, so it doesn't look as though his workload is in much danger of diminishing versus Carolina.

Analysis: Jarrett made an early impression in Week 2, scooping up a loose ball after teammate Foyesade Oluokun stripped Ezekiel Elliott on Dallas' third offensive drive of the game. The 2019 Pro Bowler also assisted Takkarist McKinley on a takedown in the backfield in the opening quarter, tackling Elliott for a four-yard loss on a Cowboys drive that concluded with a turnover on downs at the 5:55 mark. Dallas roared back in the second half to overtake Atlanta for the Week 2 win, but now Jarrett and the…read more

Lights up stat line in loss
Jarrett collected four tackles, 1.5 sacks and a tackle for loss during Sunday's 38-25 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Jarrett continues his transformation into a household name, having earned his first career Pro Bowl nod in 2019 and so far in 2020 looking every bit like an elite defensive tackle. Starting 16 games for the second time in his NFL career last year, Jarrett generated six-plus sacks for a second consecutive season. His strong pass-rushing form remains intact as he led the way to three team sacks for Atlanta on Sunday. Dallas may be without starting right tackle Cameron Erving (knee) after he…read more

Excited to team up with Fowler
Jarrett said Monday that it has been "awesome" to be a teammate of Dante Fowler thus far, and that he is "ready to go wreck it up with him," William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: An argument can be made that Fowler is as talented a pass rusher as Jarrett has teamed up with across six NFL seasons, as Fowler has averaged eight sacks per 16 games since the start of 2017. Over that same span, Fowler's production compares favorably to the averages of both Takkarist McKinley (5.9 sacks per 16 games) and Vic Beasley (six sacks per 16 games), providing optimism that Atlanta's pass rush may rise from a 30th place finish in team sacks. Jarrett himself is coming off a career-high…read more

Establishes multiple career highs
Jarrett racked up 69 tackles, 16 QB hits, 7.5 sacks and two forced fumbles while making 16 starts and earning his first career Pro Bowl nod in 2019.
Analysis: The 26-year-old continues to be a monster for Atlanta's front seven, collecting an impressive 13.5 sacks, 32 QB hits and 20 tackles for loss the past two seasons. Jarrett was especially dominant in 2019, ranking among Pro Football Focus' top-five defensive tackles in terms of both run defense and pass rush, while placing behind only Aaron Donald and Cameron Heyward by measure of overall performance at the position. Jarrett will be on the second season of his four-year, $68 million deal in 2020…read more

Tallies another sack in Week 16 win
Jarrett accounted for three tackles and one sack during Sunday's 24-12 win against the Jaguars.
Analysis: The ascending defensive star reached the six-sack mark for a second consecutive campaign, and simultaneously achieved 11-plus tackles for loss for the second time over the past three years. In addition to his run-stuffing prowess, Jarrett has been an exceptionally valuable interior lineman, given his ability to disrupt the passer. Jarrett has 44 QB hits in 45 regular-season games since the start of 2017, and he has finally been rewarded with his first career Pro Bowl nod. Jarrett looks to get…read more

Earns first Pro Bowl nod of career
Jarrett was named to the NFC Pro Bowl roster Tuesday, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The 26-year-old Jarrett has been an all-around dominant presence on the interior for Atlanta, logging 65 tackles and 10 tackles for loss, along with 13 QB hits, 5.5 sacks and two forced fumbles thus far in 2019. Jarrett signed a four-year, $68 million contract with the team in July, and he continues to be one of the few bright spots for a Falcons defense that has finished bottom eight in points allowed over each of the past two seasons.

Racks up six tackles
Jarrett collected six tackles, including 1.5 tackles for loss, during Sunday's 29-22 win against the 49ers.
Analysis: The Pro-Bowl buzz continues to build around Jarrett, as the 2015 fifth-round draft choice now has 5.5-plus sacks in consecutive seasons, as well as a career-high 65 tackles with two games remaining in the 2019 campaign. Jarrett has tackles for loss in back-to-back outings, but he carries a five-game sack drought heading into a Week 16 matchup against a Jacksonville offensive line that ranks among the bottom half of the league with 36 sacks allowed.

Sack machine in Week 10 win
Jarrett amassed 2.5 sacks during Sunday's 26-9 win against New Orleans.
Analysis: The 26-year-old interior lineman spearheaded a breakout Week 10 for the Falcons' pass rush, as Atlanta generated six sacks on Saints quarterback Drew Brees after managing just seven sacks through the first eight outings of the year. In addition to his typical run-stuffing prowess, Jarrett has been emerging as a pocket disrupter of late, picking up QB hits in each of his past three appearances as well as 3.5 combined sacks over Atlanta's two most recent games against Seattle and New Orleans.…read more
