Falcons' Kendal Daniels: Green light for Week 8
Daniels (Achilles) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Daniels popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to an Achilles injury, but he was able to avoid an injury designation for Week 8 after logging a full session Friday. The rookie fourth-rounder has logged at least seven combined tackles in each of his last three outings, and through seven regular-season games he has accumulated 40 tackles (31 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery.

Falcons' Kendal Daniels: Logs limited practice Thursday
Daniels (Achilles) was limited in Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
Daniels practiced in full Wednesday, though after being downgraded to limited Thursday, there is concern he won't be on the field in Week 8 versus Tampa Bay. The 23-year-old is coming off the best performance of his career in the Week 7 win over the 49ers, garnering 11 tackles (nine solo) and one interception. His services will be needed even more if Divine Deablo (forearm) can't suit up once again. However, if Deablo and Daniels are both sidelined, Harold Perkins, Christian Harris and Josh Woods would likely be more involved.

Falcons' Kendal Daniels: Huge performance in Week 7 win
Daniels recorded 11 tackles (nine solo), an interception and a fumble recovery Sunday in a 29-20 victory versus San Francisco.
That Daniels was even on the field Sunday was a victory in itself after he was carted off the field and transported to the hospital due to a neck injury one week prior. The talented rookie not only suited up against San Francisco, he was a central part of sending the 49ers to their first loss, as he led Atlanta in tackles and essentially sealed the win in the fourth quarter by intercepting Brock Purdy with less than three minutes remaining and then recovering a George Kittle fumble with under a minute left. The memorable effort included Daniels' first career interception, first career recovered fumble and career-high single-game tackle tally.

Falcons' Kendal Daniels: Draws questionable tag for Week 7
Daniels (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Daniels suffered a scary neck injury in Week 6 against the Bears, when he was stretchered off the field and transported to a local hospital. He was cleared to practice in Week 7 prep and ended up finishing with a FP-LP-FP log. Daniels is understandably not in the clear just yet, but he could be given the green light by medical staff once he goes through pregame warmups Sunday.

Falcons' Kendal Daniels: Full participant Wednesday
Daniels (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Daniels spent a night in the hospital after being carted off the field in the third quarter of the Falcons' Week 6 loss to the Bears. The linebacker has improved greatly since the collision and is already back to full participation in practice. If Daniels can continue to string full practices together, he should have no problem suiting up for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Daniels recorded seven tackles prior to his departure.

Falcons' Kendal Daniels: Out of boot
Head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Wednesday that Daniels is "good to go" and "out of the boot" that he was in last week, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Daniels, a 2026 fourth-round pick from Oklahoma, appeared to have picked up a lower-leg injury during Atlanta's OTAs. However, it appears he's already moved past the issue. During his final collegiate season, the 23-year-old posted 53 total tackles, including nine tackles for loss, and three passes defensed over 13 contests. Expect Daniels to play a depth role in the Falcons' linebacker corps during his rookie campaign.

Falcons' Kendal Daniels: Drafted by Falcons
The Falcons selected Daniels in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 134th overall.
Daniels (6-foot-5, 242 pounds) actually began his college career as a safety at Oklahoma State, where he was quite productive before transferring to Oklahoma to play linebacker. Daniels' frame is almost certainly linebacker-only at the NFL level, and his 4.79-second pro day 40 additionally ensures he will stick at linebacker for the Falcons.
