The Jacksonville Jaguars placed quarterback Blaine Gabbert on injured reserve Wednesday.

Gabbert suffered injuries to his right forearm and left shoulder early in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans after he was hit by Houston's Danieal Manning.

He did not return to the game and was replaced by Chad Henne, who completed 16-of-33 passes for 354 yards and four touchdowns in relief.

Henne is expected to start the remainder of the season. He had a 13-18 record as a starter with the Miami Dolphins over the last four seasons while throwing for 7,114 yards with 31 touchdowns and 37 interceptions on 60.7 percent efficiency.

The 10th overall selection in the 2011 draft, Gabbert completed 58.3 percent of his passes for 1,662 yards with nine TDs and six interceptions through 10 games this season.

Jacksonville also placed wide receiver Laurent Robinson on injured reserve with a concussion and signed quarterback Jordan Palmer and wide receiver Carlton Mitchell on Wednesday.

    The Atlanta Falcons got their revenge, and made quite a statement as well in doing so. Matt Ryan threw three touchdown passes, including a pair to Julio Jones, and the Falcons dealt the New York Giants their first regular-season shutout in 16 years with an authoritative 34-0 victory at the Georgia Dome. Atlanta (12-2) got its payback for a 24-2 throttling by the Giants during last season's NFC Wild Card Playoffs behind a near-flawless performance from Ryan, with the standout quarterback completing a sharp 23-of-28 passes for 270 yards without a turnover. The Falcons' defense did its part as well, intercepting New York's Eli Manning twice in the first half and stopping the Giants on downs three times over the course of the game. Manning managed just 161 yards on an off-target 14-of-26 efficiency as New York (8-6) was held scoreless in a non-playoff setting for the first time since a 24-0 setback at Philadelphia on Dec. 1, 1996. Jones ended with 74 yards on six catches and Tony Gonzalez added a touchdown grab for the NFC South champion Falcons, who can clinch a first-round playoff bye if San Francisco loses to New England on Sunday night. The result could be considerably more costly for the Giants, now 2-4 over their last six outings. New York would relinquish its one-game lead over Dallas and Washington in the NFC East if either the Cowboys or Redskins win their Week 15 matchups.
