The Detroit Lions Week 7 opponent, the Atlanta Falcons, have released their injury designations and only one injured player is listed with an injury for this game: Takkarist McKinley.
Here’s a look at the Falcons’ full injury designations list.
Ruled OUT
| Player | Position | Injury | Designation |
| None |
No players listed as OUT this week.
Questionable
| Player | Position | Injury | Designation |
| Takkarist McKinley | EDGE | Groin | Questionable |
McKinley did not play in the Falcons Week 6 game due to his groin injury and when this week’s practices began he was once again unable to participate on Wednesday or Thursday, but he did return to the practice field on Friday.
He has only played in three games this season, but McKinley has accounted for eight pressures and had a sack in Week 1.
He still seems like a longshot to play this Sunday, but the questionable designation gives him a chance. Expect the Falcons to re-examine him on Saturday and if he passes those physicals, then he could end up being a game-time decision.
No injury designation
| Player | Position | Injury | Designation |
| Julio Jones | WR | Hamstring | No Designation |
| Calvin Ridley | WR | Elbow | No Designation |
| Russell Gage | WR | Shoulder | No Designation |
| Brandon Powell | WR | Elbow | No Designation |
| Dante Fowler Jr. | EDGE | Ankle | No Designation |
| Kendall Sheffield | CB | Foot | No Designation |
| Jaylinn Hawkins | SS | Concussion | No Designation |
The seven players listed in this section are all nursing injuries and most — save Gage — saw at least one limited practice this week. Fortunately for the Falcons, they are all expected to be available for Sunday, as they will not carry an injury designation into the game.
