Falcons Placed RB Jase McClellan On IR

Atlanta promoted RB Carlos Washington from the practice squad to take his spot on the roster. 

McClellan, 22, was a four-star recruit in 2020 and the sixth-best running back in the class. He spent all four years at Alabama but wasn’t a consistent starter until 2023 when he led the team in rushing.

The Falcons selected McClellan with the first of their two sixth-round picks at pick No. 186 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. He’s in the first year of a four-year, $4.214 million contract with Atlanta that includes a $194,368 signing bonus. 

In 2024, McClellan appeared in two games for the Falcons and rushed 13 times for 32 yards.
