Dude rocks burn into our atmosphere all the time.
Yes it can, will and does.
The Moon is full of craters because its been battered over the years by things crashing into it.
Fortunately the rocks are not large enough to do any damage by the time the even get close to Earth.
We have a datarecorder on a large asteroid right now watching its movements for its arrival, and have been watching this one in particular for years.
