Likely starting Sunday Grant will start if Justin Simmons (hamstring), who is listed as doubtful, can't play in Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Consti...
Impact Grant has played just 18 defensive snaps and recorded four total tackles and one pass defended through the Falcons' first seven games. If Simmons is sidelined as expected in Week 8, expect Grant to start opposite Jessie Bates as part of the Falcons' top safety duo.

Could return for Week 8 Hamilton (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Hamilton missed the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the Seahawks due to a back injury. However, the South Carolina State product has a chance to return in Week 8 after logging a week of limited practice sessions. If he's unable to play through the issue Sunday, expect Dee Alford to see increased work as the Falcons' top slot cornerback.

Likely missing Week 8 Simmons (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Simmons played through his hamstring issue in the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the Seahawks, recording five total tackles and one pass defended across 56 defensive snaps. However, the first-year Falcon downgraded from limited participation Wednesday and Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he's trending towards not playing Sunday. If Simmons is sidelined in Week 8 as expected, Richie Grant will likely see additional work in Atlanta's secondary.
OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Won't return Sunday Andersen (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Andersen practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week; however, Friday's injury report suggests his knee issue is still too much to overcome in Week 8. With Andersen set to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, expect Nate Landman to start alongside Kaden Elliss as part of the Falcons' top inside linebacker duo.
OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Ready to rock Landman (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Landman upgraded from limited participation Wednesday and Thursday to a full go Friday, indicating that he's moved past his shoulder issue in time for Sunday's contest. With Troy Andersen (knee) ruled out again in Week 8, expect Landman to start alongside Kaden Elliss in Atlanta's inside linebacker corps.

Full participant in practice Bergeron (neck) was a full participant in Atlanta's practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Impact Bergeron is healthy again after suffering a neck injury during last week's loss to the Seahawks. The 24-year-old should return to the team's starting lineup for Sunday's matchup versus the Buccaneers.

Still nursing hamstring injury Simmons (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Simmons was able to play through a hamstring injury during the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the Seahawks, during which he logged five solo tackles and one pass breakup while playing 100 percent of Atlanta's defensive snaps. He'll likely be limited in practices for the foreseeable future in order to manage the injury, but barring any setbacks, Simmons should be able to play against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Now dealing with shoulder injury Landman (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Landman was able to overcome a calf injury heading into Atlanta's Week 7 game against Seattle, during which he registered five tackles (one solo). He may have picked up a shoulder injury in the process, however, which limited his participation in Wednesday's practice. Landman will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury tag ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Limited in return to practice Andersen (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Impact Andersen has missed the Falcons' last three games due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Saints. He's been unable to practice since the injury, so his ability to participate in Wednesday's session -- albeit in limited fashion -- is a good step in the right direction for the 2022 second-round pick. Andersen's practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his status ahead of Atlanta's Week 8 game against Tampa Bay on Sunday.
OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Not seeing much time on offense Dwelley logged eight of the Falcons' 73 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Dwelley and fellow backup tight end Charlie Woerner (11 snaps) saw limited playing time behind starter Kyle Pitts (55 snaps), a trend that's likely to persist moving forward, especially when the Falcons fall into a negative game script. Though he should continue to suit up on most game days due to his blocking skills and ability to contribute on special teams, Dwelley is unlikely to draw many looks in the passing game from quarterback Kirk Cousins. Dwelley has yet to earn a target through Atlanta's first seven contests.

Strictly special teams in Week 7 Williams brought back a kickoff for 21 yards and played all 23 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Though he's listed as a running back, Williams hasn't logged any touches out of the backfield since the 2022 season and is on the Falcons' roster solely due to his role a kickoff and punt returner. Until Sunday, Jase McClellan had been inactive as the Falcons' No. 4 running back, but the rookie sixth-round pick suited up against the Seahawks and ended up getting five carries in garbage time rather than Williams when Atlanta rested top backs Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier late in the game.

Nine tackles in loss Elliss recorded nine total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Elliss led the Falcons in total takedowns against Seattle and he has now produced at least six tackles in six of seven games in 2024. Through seven contests this season, Elliss has compiled 53 total tackles (30 solo), a fumble recovery and a pass defensed.

Throws first regular-season pass Penix completed his only pass attempt for 14 yards during Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact With the game out of hand, Penix made his NFL regular-season debut. He played seven offensive snaps and completed his only pass to fellow rookie Casey Washington. Despite Sunday's dud, Kirk Cousins has fully shaken off the early-season rust and revitalized Atlanta's offense, so Penix is relegated to backup duties for the foreseeable future.
OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Records first career catch Washington caught his only target for 14 yards during Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Washington appeared in Weeks 3 and 5 but operated exclusively on special teams. He saw his first career offensive snaps during garbage time of Sunday's blowout loss and secured his lone target from fellow rookie Michael Penix. Washington remains behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge on Atlanta's wideout depth chart.
OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Misses lone FG attempt Koo made both extra-point tries but missed his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Koo's lone field-goal attempt came from 54 yards out, and he's now 5-for-7 from beyond 50 this season. This was the first time the Falcons' offense failed to score at least 20 points since Week 3 against the Chiefs, but they should be able to move the ball against the Buccaneers' porous defense in Week 8, making Koo a bounce-back candidate.
