Atlanta Falcons CB Desmond Trufant finished for the season

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant was placed on season-ending injured reserve list due to his pectoral injury, the team announced on Tuesday.

Trufant is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair the pectoral on Thursday.

Trufant suffered the injury in Week 9 and was holding out hope he could return to help the Falcons (7-4) pursue a playoff spot.

Trufant, in his fourth season, was a Pro Bowl selection in 2015 and developed into Atlanta's top defensive player.

Even with Trufant, the Falcons rank last in the NFL in pass defense while allowing 282.2 yards per game.

Second-year pro Jalen Collins will replace Trufant as the starter.

The Falcons also added cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson and center Trevor Robinson to the roster and waived punter Matt Wile.

Wilson posted 73 tackles and one interception in 34 games with the Tennessee Titans over the past three seasons. Robinson played in 37 games over four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals and San Diego Chargers.

Atlanta also signed offensive lineman Kevin Graf to the practice squad.
