News

  • Getting waived

    San Francisco waived Darby (undisclosed) from its injured reserve list with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: The injury settlement means he won't be forced to sit out of the entire 2024 season by rule. If he were to come back during the current campaign though, it might have to be with a different team.

  • Moves to IR

    Darby (undisclosed) reverted to the 49ers' reserve/injured list Tuesday after clearing waivers, per the NFL transaction log.

    Analysis: Darby will now be forced to sit out for the 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with San Francisco. The 2021 sixth-round wide receiver has played in 16 regular-season games across his three-year career as a member of the Falcons, operating mostly on special teams.

  • Waived/injured by 49ers

    Darby (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the 49ers on Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: The move makes room on the training camp roster for wide receiver Robbie Chosen. Darby signed with the 49ers in July after spending most of the 2023 season on the Falcons' practice squad. It's unclear what is ailing Darby, but if the 2021 sixth-round pick were to clear waivers, he would revert to San Francisco's injured reserve and be forced to miss the entire 2024 season unless an injury settlement is reached.

  • Joins San Fran

    Darby signed a contract with the 49ers on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With Brandon Aiyuk (contract) and Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) both not practicing early on in training camp, Darby will presumably be a high-upside camp body for a team suddenly devoid of pass catchers. A 2021 sixth-round pick by the Falcons, Darby played in just one game with Atlanta last year, primarily floating around on the practice squad.

  • Back to practice squad

    Darby reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Darby was added to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 25-23 loss to the Cardinals, failing to record a stat while playing 12 snaps on special teams. With Mack Hollins (ankle) uncertain heading into the team's bye week, it's possible Darby could be appear another game in Week 12.

  • Brought up from practice squad

    Darby was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster by the Falcons on Saturday, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The depth wide receiver seems to be replacing Mack Hollins, who is out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals with an ankle injury, per Bair. Darby, a 2021 sixth-round pick, has yet to appear in a game this season. Darby recorded two catches for 29 yards and no touchdowns over his first two NFL seasons.

  • Joins Falcons' practice squad

    Atlanta signed Darby to its practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Falcons parted ways with Darby prior to Week 1, but he's been reunited with the team ahead of Week 5. Atlanta is paper-thin at wide receiver behind Drake London, so it wouldn't be a big surprise to see Darby elevated sometime soon.

  • Reaches injury settlement

    Darby (undisclosed) has been waived by the Falcons from injured reserve with an injury settlement, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Darby's injury settlement could be a sign that he is near recovered from a soft-tissue injury sustained in Atlanta's preseason opener. Now, instead of being sidelined for the entire season, he will be free to look for a new opportunity once he's healthy.

  • Shifts to IR

    Darby (undisclosed) has reverted to the Falcons' injured reserve, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Via Terrin Waack of the team's official website, Darby was only expected to be sidelined for a week or so after suffering a soft-tissue injury in Friday's 19-3 preseason opening win over the Dolphins. Thus, it would likely be advantageous for both he and the Falcons to reach an injury settlement once his health returns to par. If that does not occur, the pass catcher will be forced to miss the entire 2023 campaign.

  • Waived/injured by Falcons

    Darby (undisclosed) was waived/injured by Atlanta on Monday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: If Darby ultimately goes unclaimed off waivers, he will then revert to the Falcons' injured reserve. According to Terrin Waack of the team's official site, Darby is expected to be sidelined for about a week due to a soft-tissue injury. So, once his health is back up to par, Darby could still potentially play this season if both he and the team can come to terms on an injury settlement.

  • Dealing with soft-tissue injury

    Coach Arthur Smith said Monday that Darby (undisclosed) will be out "maybe a week or so" due to a soft-tissue injury, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Darby appears to have picked up the injury during Friday night's 19-3 preseason win over the Dolphins, which was Atlanta's first taste of live hits. It doesn't appear that the depth wideout's undisclosed issue is anything too serious, though it could impact his availability for Friday's preseason contest against the Bengals. Darby suited up for just five games last season.

  • Limited to five games in Year 2

    Darby caught his lone target for 15 yards across five appearances during the 2022 campaign.

    Analysis: Darby, a 2021 sixth-round pick, joined the Falcons' practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster, but he earned a spot on the active roster by the end of November. He appeared in four of the team's final seven games -- drawing DNP-CDs three times -- and secured his lone catch of the campaign in Week 18 when he played a season-high 27 offensive snaps against Tampa Bay. Darby will be a free agent this offseason, and given the drop in playing time from his rookie campaign, it…read more

  • Joins active roster

    The Falcons signed Darby to their active roster off the practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Darby was a sixth-round pick by Atlanta in the 2021 draft, but he's failed to make many waves in the NFL thus far. The wideout caught one pass on four targets over 10 contests in 2021 and has yet to see a target while playing just 10 offensive snaps for Atlanta so far this year. The Falcons have a mostly healthy wide-receiver corps, so Darby shouldn't be expected to play a major role on offense moving forward.

  • Heads back to practice squad

    Darby reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Darby was elevated for the second time this season ahead of Sunday's win over the Bears. However, the 25-year-old wideout did not record a target while playing three of his 17 snaps on offense Week 11. Darby will now be eligible for one more elevation while on Atlanta's practice squad this season.

  • Will be active versus Chicago

    Atlanta elevated Darby from its practice squad Saturday for Sunday's matchup against Chicago, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Darby will be active for just the second time this season and the first time since Week 3. He didn't see any targets across seven offensive snaps against Seattle and figures to garner a similar role in Week 11.

  • Moves back to practice squad

    Darby reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Darby did not record a target while playing seven of Atlanta's 57 offensive snaps during Sunday's win over Seattle. The second-year wideout was waived as part of the team's final cuts in late August, and he'll now be available for two more elevations from the practice squad this season.

  • Will be active at Seattle

    Atlanta elevated Darby from its practice squad Saturday for Week 3, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Darby suited up for 10 games for the Falcons in 2021, but he ultimately played in just 19 offensive snaps, saw just four targets and caught just one of those for 14 yards. The 2021 sixth-rounder will probably see most of his work on special teams at the Seahawks.

  • Added to Falcons' practice squad

    Darby joined Atlanta's practice squad Wednesday, Tori McElhaney and Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site report.

    Analysis: Darby dressed for 10 games with the Falcons last season but played sparingly, totaling just one catch for 14 yards. He'll be near the top of the list should Atlanta need an in-season replacement for an injured wide receiver.

  • Waived by Falcons

    Darby was waived by the Falcons on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: After Darby reeled in three catches for 49 yards this preseason, the Falcons decided that he didn't do enough to crack the final roster. The wide receiver is considered a candidate to join the Falcons' practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

  • Full participant

    Darby (shoulder) has been a full participant in camp this week and is getting opportunities with the first-team offense, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Darby missed the Falcons' Week 18 contest against the Saints with the injury, then was limited in minicamp. The second-year pro has an outside shot to make the roster, as he competes with Damiere Byrd, KhaDarel Hodge and Cameron Batson for an active spot at the bottom of the Falcons' wide receiver depth chart.

  • Remains limited during minicamp

    Darby (shoulder) was limited during Tuesday's mandatory minicamp, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Darby was sidelined for the Falcons' final contest last season due to a shoulder injury, and the wideout appears to still be dealing with the issue. As a rookie, the 2021 sixth-round pick appeared in 10 games and caught one pass on four targets for 14 yards.

  • Sidelined by shoulder injury

    Darby (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Darby has been active for each of Atlanta's last nine games, though a shoulder injury will sideline him for the season finale. He has played almost entirely on special teams, meaning his absence isn't likely to significantly change the hierarchy of the Falcons' wide receiver depth chart.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Darby (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Darby presumably picked up the injury during last week's loss to the Bills, and his availability for the season finale is now up in the air.

  • First NFL catch Sunday

    Darby caught one of three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 43-3 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Darby recorded his first NFL targets and his first NFL catch Sunday. The rookie sixth-round pick hasn't been a part of the Falcons' offensive game plan this season, but they had all hands on deck during the blowout loss to the Cowboys. With Calvin Ridley (personal) on the non-football injury list, Atlanta's wideouts have generated sporadic production, which is likely due to Matt Ryan's reliance on his tight ends and running backs in the passing game. Darby will likely remain behind Tajae…read more

  • Practices fully Thursday

    Darby (calf) fully practiced Thursday.

    Analysis: Darby was unavailable for each of the last two games due to a calf injury, but he appears to be back to full health. The 2021 sixth-rounder was a healthy scratch in Week 1, so he's unlikely to have a significant role if he suits up Sunday against Washington.

  • Ruled out against Giants

    Darby (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Darby didn't practice this week and simply hasn't been able to recover from a nagging calf problem. The rookie wideout has yet to make his NFL debut, and his next chance to do so will come in Week 4 at home against Washington.

  • Absent from practice

    Darby (calf) is not practicing Thursday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Darby has missed back-to-back practices this week, so his chances of suiting up for Sunday's contest against the Giants are looking increasingly slim. The rookie wideout is still searching for a chance to make his NFL debut.

  • Ruled out with calf injury

    Darby (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Darby's health trended down throughout the week, as he practiced fully Wednesday before being limited Thursday and failing to practice Friday. The rookie wide receiver was a healthy scratch in Week 1, so Darby's NFL debut won't come before Sept. 26 on the road against the Giants.
