Anae (undisclosed) has agreed to terms on a contract with the Falcons, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news comes less than 24 hours after Anae's tryout in Atlanta. His 2023 season came to an end early, as the Jets placed him on injured reserve nearly one year ago with an undisclosed injury presumably suffered during offseason workouts. The defensive end's addition to Atlanta's roster indicates his health is back up to par, so he will now compete for a role in the trenches.

The Jets placed Anae on IR with an undisclosed injury Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anae appears to have sustained an injury at some point during the Jets' voluntary OTA sessions. While the exact nature of this issue is unclear, the 25-year-old will now be forced to sit out the entirety of the 2023 campaign unless the Jets opt to cut him from their injured list before the start of the 2024 offseason.

Anae (illness) was activated off the Cowboys' reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After missing the Cowboys' previous two games while on the team's COVID-19 list, it seems that Anae is slated to make his return to the field Sunday against the Giants. The young defensive end has seen a minimal role so far this season especially since Chauncey Golston returned to take over the starting position in Week 3.

Anae (undisclosed) remains in COVID-19 protocols and will miss Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anae will miss his second straight contest after being placed in COVID-19 protocols on Sept. 24. The 22-year-old defensive end was playing a rotational role during the first two weeks of the season, but Chauncey Golston returned in Week 3 and accrued most of those snaps. Anae's next chance to suit up will be Oct. 10, when the Cowboys take on the Giants.

Anae (undisclosed) won't play Monday against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anae remains on the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't dress for Monday's game. He'll set his sights on returning in Week 4 against the Panthers and reprising his role as a rotational option along Dallas' defensive line.

Anae was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anae was on the field for 31 defensive snaps in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Chargers, and he recorded a solo tackle. It's not yet clear whether the 2020 fifth-rounder has tested positive for the virus or if he's considered a close contact, but Azur Kamara will likely see a slight uptick in playing time if Anae is unavailable for Monday night's game against Philadelphia.

The Cowboys selected Anae in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 179th overall.

EDGE Analysis

Anae is a classic case of past production versus projectable tools for the next level. At 6-foot-3 and 257 pounds with shaky athleticism, Anae will have to win with skill and a sound pass-rush plan in the NFL. However, that lack of tools didn't stop him from piling up three seasons of at least 10 tackles for loss at Utah. Anae also piled up 13.0 sacks as a senior, helping him earn Consensus All-American honors. He profiles as a depth option at defensive end as he begins his NFL career.
