  • Falcons' Ruke Orhorhoro: Deemed questionable for Monday

    Orhorhoro, who is on IR due to an ankle injury, is questionable to play against Las Vegas on Monday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. Orhorhoro has been on injured reserve since Nov. 1 and would need to be activated Sunday or sooner in order to suit up Monday. There appears to be a good chance of that happening given his designation of questionable and the fact that head coach Raheem Morris said Saturday that the rookie had a good week of practice, per William McFadden of the Falcons' official site. If Orhorhoro is able to return to action Monday, he would likely return to a rotational role at defensive end.

  • Falcons' Ruke Orhorhoro: Onward to the ATL

    The Falcons selected Orhorhohro in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 35th overall. The Falcons continue to surprise with their draft selections after taking quarterback Michael Penix with the eighth overall pick Thursday. Orhorhoro going ahead of fellow defensive tackles Johnny Newton and Kris Jenkins was unexpected. A five-year player at Clemson, Orhorhoro is on the lighter side for a defensive tackle at 294 pounds on a 6-foot-4 frame but tested well at the combine, highlighted by a 4.89-second 40-yard dash. He did not begin playing football until his junior year of high school, which quells some concern regarding his advanced age coming into the league as he's still getting experience under his belt. He projects to challenge for snaps at the left defensive end spot in the Falcons' 3-4 front.
