Marcus Mariota To Have Surgery, Will Land On IR
Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that quarterback Marcus Mariota (knee) will have knee surgery and will land on Injured Reserve, ending his 2022 season. Rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder would have started the rest of the season, regardless. "I'm not a medical expert, I'm just telling you that it had nothing to do with the decision," Smith said. The Falcons want an opportunity to evaluate Ridder in the final four games of the regular season, beginning in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints on the road in a hostile environment. Like Mariota, Ridder has dual-threat abilities at the QB position, and although he looked good in the preseason, he's bound to struggle at times in his first four NFL games to close out the season. A timetable for Mariota's return will be determined after he undergoes knee surgery.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota could be heading to Injured Reserve as he's dealing with a knee injury. Mariota is not at the Falcons' facility on Monday and head coach Arthur Smith said he anticipates he'll go on Injured Reserve, but he is getting his knee looked at. During the bye week, rookie Desmond Ridder was announced as the Falcons' starting quarterback for the game against the New Orleans Saints. Logan Woodside was signed to the Falcons' active roster off of the Tennessee Titans' practice squad, presumably to be the Falcons' QB2.

The Atlanta Falcons are looking to the future and making the quarterback switch from Marcus Mariota to rookie Desmond Ridder, according to sources. Ridder will make his first career NFL start in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints on the road when the team comes off their bye this week. Mariota is due $12 million next year, including a $3 million roster bonus due on the fifth day of the new league year in March. The Falcons want to get ahead of it now and get a look at Ridder, a third-rounder, to close out the year after Mariota completed just 59 percent of his passes in the last five games. Like Mariota, Ridder can be dangerous with his arm and legs, giving opponents plenty to think about. The 23-year-old looked pretty good in the preseason, but he has yet to take a regular season snap and is bound to have his struggles to close out the season.
