Falcons WR Darnell Mooney questionable to return vs. Broncos

Falcons WR Darnell Mooney is questionable to return against the Denver Broncos with a hamstring injury

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney is questionable to return against the Denver Broncos, going down in the second half of Sunday’s contest with a hamstring injury.

This is a huge loss for the Falcons, who were already depleted within the secondary on the other side of the ball and lost cornerback Kevin King to a head injury earlier in the game.

Now, they also have to deal with the chance of not having their most reliable pass-catcher in the fold for the rest of the fourth quarter.

The Tulane product came into this game with 46 receptions for 684 yards and five touchdowns in 2024. Thus far in Week 11, Mooney recorded two receptions for 27 yards.

The Falcons have shown late comeback ability in several games this season but will have to do something incredible to come back against the Broncos as they trail, 28-6 with less than 15 minutes left to play.

Falcons injury report: Updates on Justin Simmons, Troy Andersen

Falcons Week 8 injury report: Safety Justin Simmons DOUBTFUL vs. Buccaneers…

The Atlanta Falcons have wrapped up another week of practice ahead of this Sunday’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On Friday afternoon, the team released its final injury reports with game designations for Week 8.

While the Falcons are in decent shape, there was one notable injury on Friday’s practice report. Safety Justin Simmons is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game due to a hamstring injury.

Simmons was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but did not participate on Friday. If he can’t play, the team will look to Richie Grant to start next to Jessie Bates. Cornerback Antonio Hamilton (back) and center Ryan Neuzil (knee) are questionable for Week 8.

Linebacker Troy Andersen will miss his fourth straight game due to a knee injury. Andersen hasn’t played since winning NFC Defensive Player of the Week after the team’s Week 4 win over the Saints.

Marlon Davidson returns to practice, James Carpenter out Friday

The Atlanta Falcons got some good news and some bad news at Friday’s practice.

The Atlanta Falcons got some good news and some bad news at Friday’s practice.

Both defensive lineman Marlon Davidson (knee) and center Alex Mack (rest) returned to the field after sitting out on Thursday, while left guard James Carpenter isn’t dressed, according to ESPN’s Vaughn McClure.

Falcons rookie CB A.J. Terrell — who was limited yesterday — is out there as well, but wearing a compression sleeve on his leg.

Terrell has a minor hamstring injury but looks good to go for this weekend’s opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Meanwhile, second-year CB Kendall Sheffield‘s status for Sunday is uncertain, as team reporter William McFadden reports below.

Check back for the injury report following the team’s Friday practice.

Bucs-Falcons Final Injury Report: Jason Pierre-Paul is a go for Sunday

See the final injury report for both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons ahead of Sunday’s Week 12 showdown.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to get back on the winning track this week as they take on the suddenly streaking Atlanta Falcons, who have won their past two games by outscoring their opponents 55-12.

The Bucs’ offense looked out of sync in Week 11’s loss to the New Orleans Saints, so getting Jameis Winston comfortable early on will be key for offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich.

On the defensive side of the ball, Tampa Bay will have star pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul back for Sunday’s action. JPP had been dealing with a knee issue early in the week, but was a full participant at Friday’s practice.

Two Bucs have been ruled out for Sunday’s game, OLB Anthony Nelson and DB M.J. Stewart. OLB Carl Nassib has been listed as questionable for Sunday’s game, but Bruce Arians expects him to be back on the field.

Here is the final injury report for both teams.

Bucs-Falcons Injury Report (Nov. 21): Jason Pierre-Paul limited participant

Check out the latest injury report for both the Buccaneers and Falcons ahead of Week 12’s matchup in Atlanta.

The Buccaneers defense will be tasked with trying to stop Matt Ryan and Julio Jones this Sunday when they take on the Atlanta Falcons on the road.

Star pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul missed practice yesterday for the Bucs while dealing with a knee injury. He was a limited participant today, which is an encouraging sign, considering he’s a key cog in this defense. Given that Pierre-Paul overcame a fractured neck to play this season, a knee issue shouldn’t be a problem for him.

Jameis Winston, who’s been dealing with an ankle issue suffered in Sunday’s loss to the Saints, was a full participant again today, so all signs point to him starting against Atlanta. (Sorry all you Ryan Griffin fans.)

Here is today’s injury report for both the Bucs and the Falcons.

DL William Gholston (ankle) – Limited Participation
