Tyrone Wheatley Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Bound for IR Wheatley (undisclosed) reverted to Atlanta's injured reserve list Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Wheatley was waived by the Falcons with an injury designation Thursday, and because he wasn't subsequently claimed by another team, he'll now go to their injured reserve list. He'll be required to stay there for the entire 2025 campaign unless he can negotiate an injury settlement with Atlanta.

Waived by Atlanta Wheatley (undisclosed) was waived by Atlanta on Thursday with an injury designation, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wheatley signed with Atlanta in January to add depth at the tackle position. However, he unexpectedly missed practice Wednesday, according to Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site. The 28-year-old is no stranger to limitations, playing in just two games in his career and being waived off injured reserve by New England last September. It's unclear whether his current injury is related to his past history. Should the third-year pro clear waivers, he will revert to the team's injured reserve.
