ATLFalcons11 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I don't know the article posting etiquette around these parts so feel free to correct me. https://www.atlantafalcons.com/news/falcons-activate-isaiah-oliver-injured-reserve-49ers The Falcons are getting a key player back. Isaiah Oliver has been formally activated off injured reserve, the Falcons announced on Saturday afternoon, and is in line to play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at Mercedes-Benz. This will mark Oliver's first regular-season game since he tore his ACL in a Week 4 loss to Washington in 2021. Oliver started that season strong, a proving to be solid fit for how defensive coordinator Dean Pees likes to use slot corners. Oliver was a limited participant in training camp but was involved in lots of practices and played some in the preseason finale against Jacksonville. The Falcons put him on injured reserve to start the season, allowing him to rehab for the first four weeks of the season. He was designated to return last week opening a 21-day practice window where he could be activated. They didn't need the whole thing and were able to get Oliver up and going in time for the 49ers. The Falcons don't have to make a corresponding move because their roster was previously at 52 players. In addition, the Falcons have made tight end MyCole Pruitt a standard practice squad elevation, adding depth to his position group. thanat0s, Skin doc, Vandy and 7 others 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BtK Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I always liked him as an aggressive leader. I am not sure if the quality of play will be the same as last season after almost a year off the field. Vandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't still injured so they used IR to get him back to game speed. Diggable Birds and Tim Mazetti 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin' In DC Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I hope he can come back with the same fire he was playing with before. With Alford coming along and allowed to play the Dime role our DBs just might be looking awfully tough. Now for a pass rush!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDS Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 If we can get Walker and Davidson back and keep improving. Our defense might be sneaky good by the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanadonis Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Only thing that matters is if Franks is on the active roster. Franks has yet to make a single play in any nfl game outside of a scramble and a block Herr Doktor and Diesel_Bird 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Walker but he’s been getting eat up by blockers and missing tackles. Andersen looks like the future IMO. I’m def. interested to see how he plays in his first start today.

You can put that baby to rest. Davidson is PS material at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Oliver goes down and the announcers are like, "Garrapollo should capitalize here." Then the new trio shines out. The defense grew up today. -Falcon4Ever- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
