Graham (knee) participated in practice at Wednesday's OTA session, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Graham suffered an MCL injury in November and missed the final six games of the 2022 season, but he appears to be ready to go ahead of the 2023 campaign. The defensive lineman compiled 34 tackles and a fumble recovery over 11 contests with Atlanta last season and will likely serve as a top reserve option behind Calais Campbell and Grady Jarrett in his third year with the Falcons.

Falcons' Ta'Quon Graham: Done for year
Rotowire
Graham (knee) will not return this season, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Graham has been on IR since Nov. 21 and was set to undergo a procedure to repair an MCL injury Nov. 23, so this news isn't necessarily surprising. The second-year pro's season will conclude with 11 games played and 34 tackles (15 solo) recorded. He'll now focus on being ready to return next season.

Falcons' Ta'Quon Graham: Moved to IR
Rotowire
The Falcons placed Graham (knee) on the injured reserve Monday.
Graham was already expected to miss at least one week after he was forced out during Sunday's win over the Bears with a knee injury. While the nature of this issue is still unclear, the 23-year-old defensive lineman will be forced to sit out until at least Week 17 while recovering on IR. Graham has recorded 34 tackles (15 solo) and one fumble recovery over 11 starts this season, and his absence will likely leave Timmy Horne and Jaleel Johnson, the latter having been claimed off waivers Monday, to fill in opposite Grady Jarrett.

Falcons' Ta'Quon Graham: Will likely miss some time
Rotowire
Coach Arthur Smith said Monday that Graham (knee) is "out" for the short term, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Smith's comment would suggest Graham probably won't play in Week 12 at Washington and that he may even have to sit out beyond then. If the sophomore fifth-rounder does miss time, Matt Dickerson would be in line to see more work along Atlanta's front three.

Falcons' Ta'Quon Graham: Returns Sunday
Rotowire
Graham (knee) re-entered during the second half of Sunday's game against the 49ers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Graham was replaced by Tim Horne after exiting at some point against San Francisco, though the starting defensive end appears to be doing fine after coming back in the game. Graham played at least 50 percent of Atlanta's defensive snaps in each of the first five games after stepping into a starting role this season.

Graham is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers with a knee injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Graham started his sixth game of the season Sunday. The second-year defensive end recorded 13 tackles over the first five weeks, and his absence should leave Matt Dickerson and Timmy Horne to play increased roles opposite Grady Jarrett.

Falcons' Ta'Quon Graham: Hurts hand in preseason game
Rotowire
Graham suffered a hand injury during the Falcons' 23-3 loss against the Titans on Friday, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic reports.
The 2021 fifth-round pick collected one tackle in the game before being temporarily sidelined with the injury. However, Graham did return to the game after the injury, so perhaps it is not serious.
