Vikings rule out All-Pro defender for Sunday’s game vs. Falcons

Falcons News: Vikings rule out All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore for Week 14 game

The Atlanta Falcons have a crucial road matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. Both teams are fighting for their divisional lives and can’t afford a loss on Sunday.

Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins returns to the city where he spent the last six seasons. The 36-year-old is coming off arguably the worst game of his NFL career and will need to play well to hold off talented rookie Michael Penix.

Fortunately for Cousins, the Vikings have ruled out All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore ahead of Sunday’s game in Minnesota.

The Vikings have a few other players, including guard Dalton Risner and defensive lineman Harrison Phillips, listed as questionable for Week 14. The Falcons are in decent shape heading into Sunday’s game.

The team ruled out rookie running back Jase McClellan and defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro. Falcons cornerback Mike Hughes was listed as questionable.

Check out the team’s full Week 14 injury report, depth chart and updated 53-man roster. Sunday’s game starts at 1 p.m. ET inside Minnesota’s U.S. Bank Stadium.

Falcons provide injury update on rookie defensive lineman

Falcons rookie defensive lineman set to return from injured reserve list in Week 14

The Atlanta Falcons struggled to score points in their 17-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, but their defense showed up in a big way. After recording just 10 sacks over the first 11 games, the Falcons brought down Justin Herbert a season-high five times.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris hopes to keep that defensive momentum going when the team faces off against the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Morris said he expects rookie defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro to return from the injured reserve list this week, which should provide an additional boost for Atlanta’s front seven. The Falcons head coach also said he doesn’t expect safety DeMarcco Hellams back this week.

The second-round pick out of Clemson was a healthy scratch for the first few games of the season. Orhorhoro eventually got a chance and played fairly well, especially against the run. He was later placed on the injured reserve list due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 8.

Check back on Wednesday for the team’s first Week 14 injury report. On Tuesday, the Falcons released their depth chart for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Falcons head coach Raheem Morris provides injury updates on Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Mike Hughes

The Atlanta Falcons had an extra week to rest before their upcoming matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, but you wouldn’t know it looking at the injury report.

While several key players have been limited in practice this week, head coach Raheem Morris gave reporters some positive updates on wide receivers Drake London and Darnell Mooney ahead of Sunday’s game in Atlanta.

Morris said London and Mooney are good to go for Week 13 while cornerback Mike Hughes is unlikely to play, per ESPN’s Marc Raimondi.

A handful of other players are battling injuries but we’ll have to wait until Friday’s official injury report is released to learn more. Kicker Younghoe Koo, guard Chris Lindstrom and defensive lineman Zach Harrison were each limited during Thursday’s practice.

Sunday’s game against the Chargers begins at 1 p.m. ET inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Check out the team’s updated 53-man roster and practice squad entering Week 13.

Falcons injury news: Latest update on WR Darnell Mooney

ESPN insider provides injury update on Falcons WR Darnell Mooney, who exited Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos

The Atlanta Falcons have the week off and it couldn’t have come at a better time. After ruling out eight players ahead of Week 11, the team suffered a few other notable injuries during Sunday’s 38-6 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring), cornerback Kevin King (concussion) and defensive lineman Zach Harrison (knee) each exited the game and did not return.

Mooney, the former Chicago Bears wideout, has been a key piece of Atlanta’s offense this season. Fortunately, it doesn’t sound like he will miss any time. According to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Mooney’s hamstring injury is “not serious.”

Mooney finished Sunday’s loss with two catches for 27 receiving yards. It was his second-lowest yardage total of the year. Despite the quiet outing, Mooney leads the team with 711 receiving yards this season. The former fifth-round pick is on track for the second 1,000-yard season of his career.

The Falcons have a bye in Week 12 before they host the Los Angeles Chargers at home in Week 13. Check back later for updates on Harrison, King and rookie wide receiver Casey Washington.

Falcons injury report: Latest updates on Darnell Mooney, Mike Hughes

Falcons injury report: Darnell Mooney limited, 8 players ruled out for Week 11 game vs Broncos

The Atlanta Falcons released their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos and eight players have officially been ruled out.

Linebacker Troy Andersen, cornerback Mike Hughes and defensive lineman Ta’Quon Graham won’t be suiting up in Week 11. Atlanta will be extremely thin in the secondary on Sunday as defensive backs Dee Alford and Antonio Hamilton have been ruled out for the game as well.

On the bright side, quarterback Kirk Cousins was a full participant in Friday’s practice as he deals with injuries to his elbow and shoulder. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney was limited for the second day in a row due to an Achilles injury.

Mooney was not given an official game status, meaning he’s likely good to go for Sunday’s matchup in Denver.

Darnell Mooney injury update

Mooney has been limited the last two days due to an Achilles injury. While the veteran wideout wasn’t given an injury designation on Friday’s injury report, Achilles injuries are no joke and he should be monitored entering Sunday’s game.

Kirk Cousins injury update

Cousins, despite his surprise appearance on Wednesday’s injury report, is on track to play after participating fully in the last two practices. Cousins ranks third in passing yards this season and will need to play well for Atlanta to have a chance in Week 11.

Mike Hughes injury update

Hughes has been ruled out for Sunday’s game due to a neck injury he suffered during last week’s loss to the Saints. While A.J. Terrell gets most of the headlines, Hughes has been quietly efficient this season. The entire secondary is pretty banged up with Antonio Hamilton and Dee Alford also ruled out for Week 11.

Sunday’s game kicks off at 4:05 p.m. ET in Denver. The Broncos are 2.5-point favorites over the Falcons.

Kirk Cousins injury update:

Cousins was limited on Wednesday with injuries to his right shoulder and elbow but was a full participant at Thursday’s practice. It doesn’t appear the veteran quarterback’s status is in jeopardy for Week 11.

Darnell Mooney injury update:

Mooney was added to the injury report on Thursday with an Achilles injury. While Mooney’s addition is somewhat concerning, he was still a limited participant in practice. If Mooney can’t play this weekend, look for Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge to fill in.

Tyler Allgeier injury update:

Allgeier was limited at Wednesday’s practice but returned on Thursday and was a full participant. The third-year running back doesn’t appear to be in danger of missing Week 11.

The Falcons take on the Broncos this Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET in Denver. Despite having the better overall record, Atlanta is a 2.5-point underdog entering Week 11.

Center Drew Dalman continues to be a full participant at practice but he’s yet to be activated from the injured reserve list. Dalman was designated to return two weeks ago but he still has some hurdles to clear, according to head coach Raheem Morris.
