FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons have placed running back Ito Smith, the team's second-leading rusher, on injured reserve.
Smith already had been ruled out of Sunday's game at New Orleans with a neck injury. He suffered the neck injury, as well as a concussion, against the Los Angeles Rams on Oct. 20 and missed the team's Oct. 27 loss to Seattle.
He also finished his 2018 rookie season on IR with a knee injury.
Smith has rushed for 106 yards with one touchdown this season as Devonta Freeman's top backup.
