Falcons offensive tackle designated to return from IR
The Atlanta Falcons have designated offensive tackle Storm Norton to return from the injured reserve list, opening his 21-day practice window on Wednesday. Norton suffered an ankle injury in training camp and underwent surgery back in August.
Several people have asked me about Storm Norton over the past couple of weeks, and we finally have an answer. The Falcons announced Wednesday that they would officially designate Norton to return from IR.
Although Norton was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday and practiced in full all week, he'll remain sidelined for Atlanta's Week 8 contest. Jack Nelson and Michael Jerrell will likely continue to operate as the Falcons' top reserve tackles until Norton is activated from IR.
