FLOWERY BRANCH -- The Falcons placed tight end Jaeden Graham on the reserve/injured list, ending his season, the team announced Thursday. The team also signed wide receiver Trevor Davis.
“Jaeden is a guy who has put a lot into this, and you hate it for anybody you coach,” coach Arthur Smith said after Thursday’s practice. “It’s very emotional. It’s his life. It’s a tough game and a tough business. It’s an unfortunate thing that happened.”
Smith said Graham “probably” will require surgery for an injury not disclosed by the Falcons.
Graham has appeared in 32 games over two NFL seasons and has recorded 12 receptions for 174 yards (14.5 avg.) and one touchdown. The 25-year-old tight end played in all 16 games in 2020 and recorded three receptions for 25 yards (8.3 avg.) while also contributing on special teams.
Davis was selected by the Packers in the fifth round (163rd overall) of the 2016 NFL draft and has spent time with the Packers, Raiders, Dolphins, Bears and Washington. The 28-year-old, 6-foot-1, 188-pound receiver has appeared in 43 career games and has recorded 16 receptions for 205 yards (12.8 avg.) and one touchdown on offense. Davis also has averaged 22.4 yards per kickoff return and 10.1 yards per punt return in his career.
