Falcons officially place Erik Harris on IR, call up two defenders from practice squad

We’ve known Erik Harris was headed to injured reserve all week, unfortunately, but the Falcons hadn’t made it official until right now. The Falcons are now down one of their starting safeties for Week 15 against the 49ers.

In addition to Harris being placed on IR, the team announced a pair of practice squad players were elevated to the active roster, one as a COVID-19 replacement.

We have made the following transactions:

- Placed Erik Harris on IR.
- Activated Dorian Etheridge from the practice squad as a standard elevation.
