  • Falcons' Zach Harrison: Role cut down in 2024

    In 17 games in 2024, Harrison recorded 26 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, along with two passes defensed.

    Despite playing one more game, Harrison actually played fewer total defensive snaps in 2024 (263) than he did in his rookie season in 2023 (323). At least part of that difference could be explained by Atlanta's shift from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defensive scheme under new defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake. If Lake retains the position, Harrison could be in line for a similar snap share in 2025.

  • Falcons' Zach Harrison: Cleared to play against Bolts

    Harrison (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Harrison suffered a knee injury in the second half of the Falcons' Week 11 loss to the Broncos. Harrison took advantage of the additional rest courtesy of Atlanta's Week 12 bye, opening the week with consecutive limited practices before finishing strong with a full session Friday. Harrison has cracked 20 defensive snaps just once across 11 regular-season games, though he should see an increased snap count Sunday due to Ta'Quon Graham (pectoral) and Ruke Orhorhoro (ankle) both being on injured reserve.

  • Falcons' Zach Harrison: Done early Sunday with knee injury

    Harrison (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

    Harrison picked up a knee injury in the second half Sunday, bringing his day to a premature end. The defensive lineman recorded two tackles before exiting the game. With Atlanta off in Week 12, Harrison will have two weeks to be ready to go for Atlanta's matchup with the Chargers on Dec. 1.

  • Falcons' Zach Harrison: Healthy off knee injury

    Harrison (knee) is participating in Falcons camp this week, Sports Illustrated's Daniel Flick reports.

    Harrison was inactive for the Week 18 season finale last season with the knee issue, but he's over it now and is looking to build off a 2023 that saw him record 33 tackles (18 solo)l, including three sacks, as a reserve lineman. With Calais Campbell now with the Dolphins, it opens up a chance for Harrison to become a starter.

  • Falcons' Zach Harrison: Makes impact as rookie

    Harrison (knee) finished 2023 with 33 tackles, 3.0 sacks and one pass defense in 16 appearances.

    A rookie third-round pick, Harrison immediately carved out a rotational role, but he didn't make an impact as a pass rusher until later in the season, recording 3.0 total sacks in Weeks 15 and 16. The youngster missed Week 18 due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 17. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but he returned and finished the Week 17 loss to the Bears and was a limited participant during Week 18 prep, suggesting the knee injury won't impact his offseason. Given the flashes he showed in 2023, Harrison could earn an increased workload in Year 2.
