The Atlanta Falcons announced Friday that veteran guard James Carpenter will end the season on injured reserve. Carpenter has missed the past two games due to a concussion, and he was recently downgraded on Thursday's injury report after practicing in a limited fashion on Wednesday.
Reserve guard Wes Schweitzer has filled in for Carpenter over the past two games and will presumably continue to start for the Falcons as they close out the 2019 season. In addition to placing Carpenter on IR, the Falcons have promoted offensive lineman Sean Harlow from their practice squad to the active roster.
