Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Estimated as limited again Tuesday
Dorlus (groin) was deemed a limited participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough.
Dorlus was also estimated as limited for Monday's walkthrough. He didn't play Sunday against the Seahawks due to a groin issue, and with a quick turnaround ahead of Thursday's battle against the Bucs, he's in danger of missing a second straight game. However, Dorlus' status for that contest should become more clear with Wednesday's practice report.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Sidelined by groin issue
Dorlus (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Dorlus has played through an oblique issue the last few weeks, but he was unable to practice all week with the groin injury. He'll be forced to miss his first game of the season and will leave a void in Atlanta's pass rush after logging 4.5 sacks across his last five games.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Remains on injury report
Dorlus (groin) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Dorlus has been playing through an oblique injury for the last few weeks, and he's now on the injury report with a groin issue. It's unclear if the problems are related, but Dorlus' activity for the rest of the week should provide more of an idea of whether he'll be able to suit up in Week 14 against Seattle.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Manages full practice Thursday
Dorlus (oblique) was a full practice participant Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Dorlus has been dealing with an oblique issue since Week 11 prep, though it didn't prevent him from suiting up this past Sunday versus Carolina. The second-year defensive tackle was limited in practice Wednesday this week, and his return to full participation Thursday suggests he'll be good to go Sunday against New Orleans. Dorlus has logged a defensive snap count north of 50 percent in two of the Falcons' past three contests.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Still dealing with oblique issue
Dorlus (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Dorlus played through the oblique injury in Week 11 versus Carolina to the tune of a season-high 50 defensive snaps, so it's likely Atlanta is simply taking a cautious approach to begin Week 12 prep. He has two more chances to practice in full before the Falcons release their final practice report of the week Friday.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Good to go Week 11
Dorlus (oblique) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Dorlus ended the week with back-to-back limited practices due to an oblique injury, but the second-year defensive tackle has been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. He has posted 12 tackles (seven solo), including 3.0 sacks, in the Falcons' five regular-season games since the Week 5 bye.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Questionable for Week 11
Dorlus (oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
The second-year pro from Oregon upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending toward playing Sunday. However, if Dorlus is sidelined for the first time this season in Week 11, expect LaCale London to have an expanded role on Atlanta's defensive line.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Logs limited practice Thursday
Dorlus (oblique) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.
Dorlus' participation level was an upgrade after he failed to practice Wednesday. It's unclear when he sustained the injury, as the 24-year-old has logged sacks in back-to-back games and showed no sign of injury in Week 10. Dorlus' participation in practice Friday will be worth noting in terms of his availability for Sunday's game versus the Panthers. Should Dorlus not be able to play, Ruke Orhorhoro could see increased playing time as the next man up at defensive tackle.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Dealing with oblique issue
Dorlus (oblique) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Dorlus has sacks in consecutive games, showing no sign of being slowed by injury. However, he appeared on Wednesday's injury report and his participation will now be worth watching or the rest of the week.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Notches sack in loss
Dorlus logged two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Atlanta's loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Dorlus' hot streak continued despite the loss, as he's now recorded 3.0 sacks across his last two outings. The 2024 fourth-round pick will look to carry this momentum into the team's Week 11 matchup versus the Panthers.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Multiple sacks in loss
Dorlus logged four tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
Dorlus' role has varied throughout the season, but he topped 50 percent of defensive snaps in Week 9 for the first time in his last three games. He responded with his highest tackle total of the campaign and at least one sack for the first time since Week 2. Despite the strong showing, Dorlus has limited IDP value.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Makes impact during SNF
Dorlus finished with three tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 22-6 win over the Vikings.
Dorlus was a 2024 fourth-round pick but appeared in only two games as a rookie. Zach Harrison and David Onyemata are the Falcons' top defensive linemen, while Dorlus is splitting snaps with Ruke Orhorhoro and LaCale London. In that role, Dorlus has played just under 50 percent of Atlanta's defensive snaps through two games. This could be a sign of things to come for Dorlus, but unless he starts seeing more snaps, it'll be difficult for him to replicate this type of production consistently.
