  • Falcons' Clark Phillips: Estimated as limited

    Phillips (triceps), who remains on IR, is estimated as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Phillips had his 21-day practice window opened Wednesday, so though Atlanta didn't actually host an on-field practice Thursday, it's encouraging to see him estimated as at least a limited participant. In order to be activated in time to play Monday versus the Rams, however, Phillips will likely have to prove himself capable of handling full practice reps Friday and/or Saturday.

  • Falcons' James Pearce: Estimated as limited participant

    Pearce (neck) is listed as limited on Thursday's estimated practice report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Atlanta didn't officially hold an on-field practice Thursday, but Pearce's status will nonetheless snow need to be monitored leading up to Monday's game against the Rams. The rookie first-round pick will have two more opportunities to prove he's able to handle full practice reps prior to being assigned a potential injury designation for Monday Night Football.

  • Falcons' Mike Hughes: Listed as DNP

    Hughes (ankle) is listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Head coach Raheem Morris has already stated that Hughes is unlikely to be available for Monday's game against the Rams, so it's no surprise to see him listed as a non-participant to begin Week 17 prep. The starting cornerback and kick returner looks set to miss a second straight game due to the ankle injury he picked up versus the Buccaneers in Week 15.

  • Falcons' Malik Heath: Ready to rock

    Heath (personal) is not listed on Thursday's estimated injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Heath did not suit up Week 16 versus the Cardinals due to a personal matter, though he had been a healthy scratch for Atlanta's prior two contests. He'll be fully available for Monday's home game against the Rams, now, in the event that that the coaching staff decides Heath is ready for his Falcons debut after having been claimed by the team off waivers Dec. 8.

  • Falcons' Drake London: Listed as limited Thursday

    London (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    London made his return from a four-game absence due to a sprained PCL in his left knee this past Sunday at Arizona, a contest in which he logged a 69 percent snap share and gathered in three of eight targets for 27 yards. His listed practice restrictions Thursday likely are related to maintenance, and he'll have two more chances to get back to full this week before the Falcons potentially give him a designation for Monday's contest against the Rams.

  • Falcons' Clark Phillips: Set to return to practice

    The Falcons designated Phillips (triceps) for return from IR on Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

    Phillips has played in just one game this season -- Week 4 against Washington, when he logged nine special-teams snaps and suffered a triceps injury. He was placed on injured reserve Oct. 18 and has been there since. Phillips will now have his 21-day practice window opened and can be activated at any time, but with just two games remaining on Atlanta's schedule, it remains to be seen if he'll get into a game before the regular season is over.

  • Falcons' Mike Hughes: Unlikely to return Week 17

    Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that Hughes (ankle) probably won't play Monday against the Rams, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

    Hughes therefore seems set to miss his second straight game due to the ankle injury he suffered against Tampa Bay in Week 15. Rookie Cobee Bryant saw more work at cornerback this past Sunday against Arizona, as did veteran C.J. Henderson. Both could again have a defensive role if Hughes indeed sits out against Los Angeles.

  • Falcons' David Sills: Blanked by Cardinals

    Sills failed to reel in his lone target in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.

    Sills played 32 of the Falcons' 77 offensive snaps Sunday, behind both Darnell Mooney (54) and Drake London (53). Atlanta's No. 3 wideout followed up his career-best effort in Week 15 with a catchless performance in Week 16, his ninth game without a grab in 15 appearances. Sills remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Rams.

  • Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Records two catches in win

    Mooney caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.

    Mooney played 54 of the Falcons' 77 offensive snaps Sunday, the most of any Atlanta wide receiver in the contest. Despite leading the the receiving corps in snaps, the veteran wideout continued his streak of underwhelming performances. In 13 appearances, Mooney has recorded just 27 catches for 388 yards and a touchdown. The 28-year-old will remain difficult to trust for significant fantasy production heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Rams.

  • Falcons' James Pearce: Productive in win

    Pearce registered two tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, in Atlanta's win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Pearce combined with Brandon Dorlus to bring down Jacoby Brissett for one of the team's two sacks. The 22-year-old continues to have a strong rookie season, as he's now racked up 22 tackles (14 solo), including 8.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery across 15 games played.
