Falcons reach injury settlement with Jon Asamoah

FLOWRY BRANCH —

Offensive guard Jon Asamoah, 27, who was signed as a free agent to help stabilize the offensive line in 2014, has reached an injury settlement with the Falcons, according to the team.

The Falcons placed Asamoah on injury reserved with a hip injury on Sept. 5 when they cut down to the 53-man roster.

The move is surprising because he’s relatively young and the interior of the line has struggled at times in pass protection this season.
