Falcons place WR Robinson, CB Irons on IR

Dec 16, 2008 - 9:32 PM FLOWERY BRANCH, Georgia (Ticker) -- The Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday placed wide receiver Laurent Robinson and cornerback David Irons on season-ending injured reserve.

Robinson, who had five catches for 52 yards in his rookie season, had not played since September 21 due to a hamstring injury.

Irons suffered a knee injury in last Sunday's 13-10 overtime win against Tampa Bay. He made four total tackles in five games this season.

The Falcons made a host of other moves, including signing tight end Marcus Pollard, who was cut during training camp. The 13-year veteran has 349 receptions for 4,280 yards and 40 touchdowns in his career.

Also on Tuesday, the Falcons elevated safety Eric Brock from the practice squad to the active roster and signed cornerback Darius Vinnett and offensive lineman Michael Butterworth to the practice squad.
