  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Past illness

    McClellan (illness) was not listed on the Falcons' injury reports Wednesday.

    McClellan was sidelined for the Falcons' Week 5 win over the Buccaneers due to an illness, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The rookie running back from Alabama has yet to make his NFL debut after recording 180 carries for 890 yards and eight touchdowns during his final collegiate season.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Won't play vs. Bucs

    McClellan (illness) is inactive ahead of Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    McClellan popped up on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday due to an illness, and it appears to be severe enough to keep him sidelined for Thursday's contest. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 6 against the Panthers. The rookie sixth-round pick has yet to play in a regular-season game this year.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Could miss Week 5

    McClellan (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers.

    McClellan popped up on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday as a limited participant in practice due to an illness. The rookie running back out of Alabama has been a healthy scratch for all four of Atlanta's games this season, so it wouldn't be a significant loss if he's forced to miss Thursday night's contest because of this illness.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Inactive for Week 2

    McClellan (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's matchup with the Eagles, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    The 2024 sixth-round pick out of Alabama was limited throughout the Falcons' week of practice due to a knee issue, but it now appears he's a healthy scratch for the second consecutive week. McClellan's next opportunity to make his NFL debut will come in Week 3, when Atlanta takes on Kansas City.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Practices in full Saturday

    McClellan (knee) was a full participant in Saturday's practice and he does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles.

    McClellan was limited in Friday's practice due to a knee issue, but he practiced without restriction Saturday and will be available for Week 2. He was a healthy inactive for Week 1 against the Steelers, as the Falcons went with Brian Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and Avery Williams as the three running backs on the active roster.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Limited Friday

    McClellan (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    McClellan popped up on the Falcons' injury report Friday as a limited participant due to a knee issue despite being inactive for the team's Week 1 loss. The rookie out of Alabama will likely be inactive once again in Week 2, as he's listed as Atlanta's No. 4 running back and now also has to overcome this knee injury.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Inactive for Week 1

    McClellan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    The rookie sixth-round pick out of Alabama's NFL regular-season debut will have to wait, after he was a healthy scratch for Week 1. The Falcons will have three active running backs versus Pittsburgh, with Tyler Allgeier and Avery Williams operating as backups to Bijan Robinson.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Totals 23 yards

    McClellan rushed the ball four times for 12 yards in Friday's 31-0 preseason loss to the Jaguars. He added one reception on one target for 11 yards.

    McClellan followed Carlos Washington into the game with both Tyler Allgeier and Bijan Robinson resting. He has flashed some ability throughout the preseason, particularly in last week's matchup against the Ravens when he totaled 55 yards on the ground. That appears to be enough to have McClellan fourth on the depth chart, putting him on the roster bubble heading into cutdown day.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Scores late TD

    McClellan took 11 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 13-12 preseason loss to the Ravens.

    Carlos Washington, a 2023 UDFA, worked ahead of McClellan for a second straight week, getting the start and most of the first-half playing time while Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier were held out. McClellan had some nice plays in the second half, including a TD in the final minute, but he was stuffed on a subsequent two-point conversion attempt to take the lead. The rookie sixth-round pick seems to be on the roster bubble, competing with Washington for the third RB spot on a team with the top two backs set in stone.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Garners 43 total yards in opener

    McClellan rushed nine times for 30 yards and brought in two of four targets for 13 yards in the Falcons' 20-13 preseason loss to the Dolphins on Friday night.

    The rookie sixth-round pick was the second running back to garner a touch for the Falcons, with McClellan a beneficiary of the fact both Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier were held out of the exhibition opener. The Alabama product led the Falcons in rushing yardage, although 11 of his yards came on one carry. All iterations of Atlanta's offensive line struggled to open running lanes Friday, however, and McClellan's overall volume seems to indicate head coach Raheem Morris and his staff are willing to give him an ample platform to make a case for a deep reserve running back spot this preseason.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Returns to practice

    McClellan (foot) participated in practice Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    McClellan, a rookie sixth-round pick, missed roughly one month of spring activities due to a foot issue but now appears back to normal form. In that span, McClellan missed rookie minicamp and OTAs, so he may have some catching up to do in Atlanta's backfield, where Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier are entrenched atop the depth chart.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Still dealing with foot issue

    Coach Raheem Morris said Tuesday that McClellan (foot) will sit out practice due to injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Morris said the rookie sixth-round pick as well as Bijan Robinson (ankle), who is also tending to an injury, are both expected to be available for mandatory minicamp, as reported by D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It appears that McClellan is still not fully recovered from the foot injury that kept him from working out at either the NFL Combine or Alabama's Pro Day, but the Falcons expect him to be ready for practice sooner rather than later. He will need all the reps he can get to have any chance of carving out a notable role behind both Robinson and Tyler Allgeier.

  • Falcons' Jase McClellan: Curious fit in Atlanta

    The Falcons selected McClellan in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 186th overall.

    Like many Alabama backs, McClellan had to wait his turn before becoming the lead runner. He got the chance in 2023 and averaged 4.9 yards per carry, illustrating a relative lack of explosiveness. McClellan's draft stock took another hit as he ended the season with a foot injury, which prevented him from working out at either the NFL Combine or Alabama's Pro Day. He also isn't likely to see the field much in the short term with Atlanta, as the team already boasts Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier as options in the backfield.
