Placed on IR with leg injury
The Falcons placed Smith-Williams (lower leg) on injured reserve Saturday, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith-Williams appears to have aggravated a tibia injury during the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Saints, per Flick. Smith-Williams will be required to sit for at least the next four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 16 against the Giants on Sunday, Dec. 22.

First-round rookie QB Jayden Daniels may be running for his life behind a porous O-line this season, but his playmaking at least should result in the occasional highlight-worthy play.
Assuming Kirk Cousins continues to make good progress from last season's torn Achilles, the Falcons have all the pieces in place to reach the postseason for the first time since 2017.
Tyreek Hill and De'Von Achane both are questionable, and their numbers might disappoint even if they play given Miami's slew of injury concerns along the offensive line.

2022
Smith-Williams is Washington's top backup at defensive end, potentially setting him up for a lot of playing time if Chase Young struggles to stay healthy again. Smith-Williams and Young both are in the final year of their rookie contracts, and neither has proven to be a consistent pass-rushing threat to bookened Montez Sweat.
