Ian Book finds new NFL home

Hopefully things work out better here

The opportunity didn’t work out for former Notre Dame quarterback [autotag]Ian Book[/autotag] in New Orleans: The Saints waived the former fourth-round draft pick on Tuesday. Book wasn’t out of work long, however,  he found a new home Wednesday.

Book was claimed by the Philadelphia Eagles who have Jalen Hurts and Gardner Minshew at the position, so the assumption is Book will be third string. Book started one game for the Saints last year going 12-of-20 for 135 yards with a pair of interceptions in a loss to the Dolphins.

Book becomes the only former Notre Dame player on the current Eagles roster.

Falcons place CB Darqueze Dennard on injured reserve

Falcons cornerback Darqueze Dennard made arguably the play of the game during Sunday’s 30-26 loss to the Bears, coming down with a red zone interception that should have sealed the game for Atlanta.

Falcons cornerback Darqueze Dennard made arguably the play of the game during Sunday’s 30-26 loss to the Bears, coming down with a red zone interception that should have sealed the game for Atlanta.

Instead, Dennard left the game with a hamstring injury. The team reported on Tuesday afternoon that Dennard will be placed on the injured reserve list.

The Falcons were already extremely thin at cornerback with A.J. Terrell on the league’s reserve/COVID-19 list and Kendall Sheffield yet to suit up this season due to a foot injury.

Terrell can return in three weeks, as reported by ESPN’s Vaughn McClure below.

Atlanta (0-3) takes on Green Bay (3-0) in Week 4 on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.
