Diabate (hip) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Diabate suffered the injury during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys and was initially considered week-to-week. The Utah product is now guaranteed to miss at least the next four games before being eligible to return to the active roster. Considering his initial diagnosis, it's likely Diabate won't miss much more time than that.

Diabate had a team-high seven tackles, including one for a loss that became a safety, and forced a fumble in Thursday's preseason game against the Eagles.
