  • Saints' James Carpenter: Out with COVID

    Carpenter was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday after testing positive for the virus, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

  • James Carpenter: Joins Ravens' practice squad

    The Ravens signed Carpenter to the practice squad Wednesday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.

    Carpenter is an experienced veteran, but he dealt with injuries over the last three seasons. The 32-year-old will provide Baltimore with some reliable emergency depth for the interior of the offensive line.

  • James Carpenter: Cut by Falcons

    The Falcons released Carpenter on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The Falcons created approximately $4 million in cap space with this move. Carpenter will hit free agency after starting 13 games in 2020. The 31-year-old guard has dealt with a myriad of injuries over the past three seasons, missing 14 total games.

  • Falcons' James Carpenter: Starts 13 times in 2020

    Carpenter, who overcame a groin injury to suit up Week 17 against the Buccaneers, concluded the 2020 campaign with 13 starts.

    Carpenter has two more years under contract with the Falcons, though according to Spotrac, there is a potential out in his deal this offseason that would cost the organization a dead cap hit of $2.4 million. The 31-year-old has been plagued by injury in recent campaigns, missing a combined 14 games between 2018 and 2020. He did, however, go without a single committed penalty over 827 offensive snaps this season.

  • Falcons' James Carpenter: On track to play Sunday

    Carpenter (groin) was removed from the Falcons' injury report Friday, Jason Butt of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Carpenter was limited by a groin injury earlier in the week, but he'll be available for the season finale Sunday against the Buccaneers.

  • Falcons' James Carpenter: Limited with groin injury

    Carpenter (groin) was limited during Wednesday's practice session, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Carpenter sat out Atlanta's Week 16 loss to Kansas City, handing the veteran lineman his third game absence since the start of December. He was unable to participate in any capacity last week while coping with his groin injury, so Carpenter seems to be trending in a positive direction as Atlanta prepares for its season finale against the Buccaneers.

  • Falcons' James Carpenter: Sidelined again

    Carpenter (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Carpenter tried to play through his groin issue Week 15 against Tampa Bay, but he seemingly re-aggravated the injury during the game and subsequently didn't practice in any capacity this week. It seems unlikely that the 31-year-old will make it back for Atlanta's season finale in Week 17.

  • Falcons' James Carpenter: Groin issue continues to linger

    Carpenter (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    A groin issue kept the 31-year-old out of the lineup for a second consecutive game last Sunday during a loss to the Chargers, and now he's seemingly re-aggravated the issue in his return to action. Carpenter was limited all throughout the practice week coming into Sunday, ultimately showing enough to trainers to overcome a questionable designation. Given the midgame injury, Justin McCray will fill Atlanta's left guard spot until Carpenter makes it back onto the field.

  • Falcons' James Carpenter: Returns to lineup

    Carpenter (groin) is active for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

    Carpenter had to sit down for a second consecutive game last Sunday during a loss to the Chargers, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity throughout the subsequent week. Having shown enough in pregame warmups, the 31-year-old now returns to the lineup for his 12th start of the year. It won't be an easy assignment, taking on a Tampa Bay defense that ranks No. 1 against the run and fifth in the NFL in team sacks.

  • Falcons' James Carpenter: Carries questionable Week 15 tag

    Carpenter (groin) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Matthew Tabeek of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Carpenter was unable to practice in any capacity last week before being ruled out for a second consecutive game. A trio of limited practice sessions this week provides optimism that the 31-year-old may be able to return to his starting left guard post. Journeyman Justin McCray is in line to start against Tampa Bay's No. 1 rush defense Week 15 should Carpenter be unavailable.

  • Falcons' James Carpenter: Missing another game

    Carpenter (groin) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Carpenter will miss a second straight game due to his lingering groin injury, making Justin McCray a likely candidate to start at left guard. To compound matters, Carpenter wasn't able to practice at all this week, making his status for the Dec. 20 game against the Buccaneers uncertain as well.

  • Falcons' James Carpenter: Not able to practice

    Carpenter (groin) did not suit up for Wednesday's practice session, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    The veteran offensive guard was unable to participate throughout all of last week before being ruled out for Sunday's game versus New Orleans, and his prognosis is so far not looking promising heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Chargers. Should Carpenter prove unable to suit up for a second consecutive contest, journeyman Justin McCray would be in line for another start.
