  • Logs another sack in win

    Ebiketie recorded five total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The third-year pro from Penn State appears to be breaking out down the stretch for the Falcons, having now recorded 10 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and one pass defended over his last four games. Ebiketie has appeared in 15 games for Atlanta this season and recorded 34 total stops, including 5.0 sacks, and two passes defended.

  • Two sacks in loss

    Ebiketie registered three solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Ebiketie was able to record his first multi-sack performance of the year Sunday, getting to quarterback Justin Herbert twice in the loss. The linebacker played just 42 percent of the team's defensive snaps, his lowest total since Week 5, but he made the most of his opportunities. Ebiketie has now compiled 27 total tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed over 12 games in 2024.

  • Records first sack of season

    Ebiketie tallied five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 27-21 Week 9 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Ebiketie added a pair of additional quarterback hits to his first sack of the season, a first-quarter takedown of Dak Prescott. The linebacker logged 67 percent of Atlanta's defensive snaps in the contest -- his highest mark of the campaign. Ebiketie has played over half of the Falcons' defensive snaps in three of his past four games after doing so only once through the season's first five weeks.

  • Still No. 1 on depth chart

    Ebiketie is listed as one of the starting outside linebackers on the Falcons' official depth chart, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Atlanta made a splash late in training camp by signing Justin Simmons and trading for Matthew Judon. Both newcomers are listed as backups on the depth chart, but that's expected to change once they get acclimated to the Falcons' system. Ebiketie and Lorenzo Carter are expected to compete for the other starting outside linebacker spot when Judon is up to full speed.

  • Career-high 6.0 sacks in 2023

    Ebiketie finished 2023 with 25 tackles, 6.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and one pass defense in 17 appearances.

    Analysis: A 2022 second-round pick, Ebiketie appeared in one more game than his rookie season but played 130 fewer defensive snaps. This may have been by design, as the Falcons loaded up on pass rushers last offseason to ensure Ebiketie was fresh when he was on the field. Despite the reduced playing time, Ebiketie posted 3.5 more sacks than last year and proved to be a disruptor, forcing two forced fumbles for a second straight season. Bud Dupree may sign elsewhere this offseason, which would open up…read more

  • Continues to get after QB

    Ebiketie recorded one sack during Sunday's 13-8 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Ebiketie has recorded a sack in back-to-back games following Atlanta's Week 11 bye. He has at least one sack in five of his last seven appearances after not recording one through the first five weeks of the season. Ebiketie's snap count hasn't increased during this strong stretch, but he is seeing more pass-rushing opportunities with Grady Jarrett (knee) sidelined.

  • Logs sack versus Saints

    Ebiketie tallied one tackle (one solo), with a sack, in Sunday's 24-15 win versus the Saints.

    Analysis: Ebiketie had a solid outing Sunday, as he recorded the only sack of the day for the Falcons. The 2022 second-round pick now has a career high 4.5 sacks through the first 11 games of the season.

  • Logs sack in loss

    Ebiketie logged two tackles (two solo), including a sack, in Atlanta's 28-23 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Ebiketie was only one of two Atlanta defenders to tally a sack, something the 24-year-old has now done twice in the past three weeks. Ebiketie's 2.5 sacks already match his season total from a year ago, and he'll look to add to those numbers this week versus the Vikings.

  • Gets after quarterback

    Ebiketie recorded two tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: Ebiketie, a 2022 second-round pick, recorded 30 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 16 games as a rookie. He got off to a slow start this year and had been playing fewer snaps compared to 2022, but that all changed against the Commanders. The Falcons pass rush is one of the worst in the NFL, but if Ebiketie can make his presence felt more often, he should quickly carve out more snaps and could emerge as an IDP option later in the season.

  • Clears injury report Wednesday

    Ebiketie (forearm) was not listed on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ebiketie missed his first game of the season Week 12 after he went out with a forearm injury in the previous contest versus Washington. The rookie second-round pick is now ready to return coming off Atlanta's bye week. Ebiketie recorded 28 tackles, 2.5 sacks and two passes defended while playing all but seven of his 421 snaps on defense over the first 12 games of the season, and he slot back into a rotational role Sunday versus New Orleans.

  • Ready to return

    Ebiketie (forearm) will return to practice this week according to head coach Arthur Smith, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ebiketie suffered the injury Week 12 against the Commanders, but after missing Week 13, he's ready to return to the field following the Week 14 bye. He should regain his steady role in the team's linebacker rotation Sunday against the Saints.

  • Out Sunday

    Ebiketie (forearm) is inactive Sunday against the Steelers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Ebiketie left Week 12 against Washington early with the injury, and he'll now miss Week 13. In his absence, DeAngelo Malone and Quinton Bell are candidates to see increased opportunities.

  • Exits with injury

    Ebiketie has left Sunday's game against Washington with an arm injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ebiketie came into Sunday questionable with an arm injury, but it's not clear if this is related. The absence of the starting outside linebacker will certainly be a blow to the Falcons' defense. While Ebiketie is out, Adetokunbo Ogundeji will be a candidate for extra snaps.

  • Will play Sunday

    Ebiketie is active for Sunday's game against Washington, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ebiketie was deemed questionable due to an arm injury he suffered during Atlanta's Week 11 win over Chicago. However, despite being limited at all three practices during Week 12 prep, the rookie second-round pick will be available for Sunday's matchup. Over his last two games, Ebiketie has totaled nine tackles and 1.5 sacks across 69 defensive snaps.

  • Questionable for Week 12

    Ebiketie (arm) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ebiketie suffered the injury during Atlanta's Week 11 matchup against the Bears, though he managed to play his usual allotment of around half the team's defensive snaps. He logged three limited practices leading up to Sunday's matchup against Washington, providing at least some hope that he'll be available to play. In 11 games this season, Ebiketie has posted 26 total tackles, 2.5 sacks and two passes defended.

  • Records sack in NFL debut

    Ebiketie recorded one solo tackle and one sack during Sunday's 27-26 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Ebiketie was drafted by the Falcons in the second round of the 2022 Draft and projects to be a solid pass rusher at the NFL level. The rookie played 26 defensive snaps in his NFL debut, but he only hit the box score during one drive in the second quarter. Ebiketie recorded his first NFL tackle on Alvin Kamara during a second-down play, and his sack came a few plays later on third down, forcing a New Orleans punt. The Penn State product is expected to be brought along slowly, but it'll be hard…read more
