FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - The Atlanta Falcons have placed backup defensive tackle Jack Crawford on injured reserve with a biceps injury.
Crawford, a native of London, has five tackles in four games. He left Sunday’s 23-17 loss to Buffalo with the injury.
The Falcons were without injured linebacker Vic Beasley (hamstring) and defensive end Courtney Upshaw (knee/ankle) against the Bills. Coach Dan Quinn said Monday the team, which is off this week, could consider adding help to compensate for the injuries.
