The Atlanta Falcons listed five starters on their Wednesday injury report and a sixth was added following Thursday’s practice. Running back Bijan Robinson was limited due to a hamstring injury after not being listed on Wednesday’s report.
Wide receiver Darnell Mooney was limited for the second day in a row due to a knee injury. Mooney is coming off a 105-yard, two-touchdown game against the Buccaneers. Linebacker Troy Andersen (knee) missed his second straight practice while Nate Landman (calf, quad) was limited again.
There was some good news on Thursday, though. Linebacker Matthew Judon (hamstring) was a full participant along with nickel cornerback Dee Alford (concussion). Check out the team’s full Week 6 injury report below.
