Falcons' Gervon Dexter: Ready for Week 7
Dexter (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Dexter sustained a hamstring injury during Friday's practice and was only able to log limited participation in the session. The defensive tackle appears capable of playing through the minor issue in Sunday's contest against the 49ers. The nose tackle may see a reduced share of defensive snaps as he manages the fresh injury, leaving Zach Harrison or LaCale London to pick up some additional opportunities on the Falcons' defensive line.

Falcons' Gervon Dexter: On track for Week 7
Dexter (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers but is expected to be cleared to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Dexter popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury. A mid-week injury typically isn't a good sign, but it looks like the fourth-year pro will suit up for Sunday's home tilt. He has 17 tackles (eight solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one pass defense through six regular-season games.

Falcons' Gervon Dexter: Back in pads for practice
Dexter (hamstring) participated at practice Tuesday, Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Dexter was missing practice with the Bears due to a hamstring issue prior to being traded to the Falcons on Sunday, but he now appears to be back in football shape. He projects to eventually play a significant role on Atlanta's defensive line in 2026, but it could take him a couple games to get acclimated to his new surroundings.

Falcons' Gervon Dexter: Traded to Atlanta
Dexter (hamstring) was traded to the Falcons from the Bears on Sunday, NFL Insider's Jordan Schultz reports.
Despite drawing interest from a few teams, Dexter will head to Atlanta in exchange for Clark Phillips and a fifth-round pick. The 25-year-old Dexter has appeared in 49 regular-season games for the Bears throughout his career, totaling 115 tackles and 13.5 sacks. Dexter has been battling a hamstring injury suffered during a recent practice, so his Week 1 status is in limbo.

Bears' Gervon Dexter: Won't play Saturday
Dexter (hamstring) is unavailable for Saturday's preseason matchup with the Titans, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Amid trade rumors as he enters the last year of his rookie contract, Dexter suffered a hamstring injury at practice two days ago. With the severity of the injury unclear for the moment, Dexter is unlikely to be traded and his status for Week 1 is also up in the air. The 2023 second-round pick recorded 43 tackles (21 solo), including 6.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries during the 2025 regular season.

Dexter recorded 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Bears' Gervon Dexter: Nursing hand injury
Dexter (hand) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
The third-year pro from Florida was not listed on Chicago's injury report Tuesday but was limited Wednesday, suggesting this hand injury occurred during practice. Dexter has appeared in all 11 of the Bears' games this season, recording 26 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries. If he's sidelined for Friday's matchup against the Eagles, Andrew Billings will likely have an expanded role on Chicago's defensive line.

Dexter tallied seven tackles, including 1.0 sacks and two tackles for loss, in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Dexter has 3.5 sacks on the season, but 2.5 of those have come in the last three games. His low-tackle production keeps him a sack-dependent IDP with moderate upside at defensive tackle.

Dexter tallied five stops in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.
Dexter finished the season with 51 tackles (23 solo), including 5.0 sacks, one pass defensed and two fumble recoveries over 15 games. The 2023 second-round pick looked like one of the more promising young defensive tackles in the league. Dexter is signed through 2026, and he'll be an excellent IDP option in leagues that use an interior defensive-line position.

Bears' Gervon Dexter: Good to go for Week 17
Dexter (knee) is not among Chicago's inactives for Thursday's matchup against Seattle.
Dexter missed Chicago's past two games due to a knee issue, but he's set to return Thursday after logging a DNP/LP/LP practice progression this week. The second-year defensive tackle had started each of the Bears' first 13 games before getting hurt Week 14 against San Francisco. Dexter will likely retake his starting role against the Seahawks, which could lead to Chris Williams logging fewer defensive snaps.
