INJURIES

Drake London - Being evaluated for head injury London exited Thursday's game against Tampa Bay and is being evaluated for a head injury, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Impact London got off to a quick start, racking up three catches for 38 yards and a touchdown. However, he took a hard shot to the head area while working over the middle of the field early in the second quarter. London headed to the locker room and there should be further clarity on his status once the evaluation is complete.

Dee Alford - Departs Thursday with head injury Alford is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Thursday's contest versus Tampa Bay, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Alford was hurt in the first quarter while making a tackle of Chris Godwin. Antonio Hamilton entered as the Falcons' nickel corner in Alford's stead and will likely be asked to hold down that role if the latter is unable to return.

Jase McClellan - Won't play vs. Bucs McClellan (illness) is inactive ahead of Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact McClellan popped up on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday due to an illness, and it appears to be severe enough to keep him sidelined for Thursday's contest. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 6 against the Panthers. The rookie sixth-round pick has yet to play in a regular-season game this year.

JD Bertrand - Set for Thursday start Bertrand is positioned to start Thursday's divisional matchup against the Buccaneers with Troy Andersen (knee) ruled out and Nate Landman (calf) still on IR, Daniel Flick of SI.com...
Impact Bertrand, a rookie fifth-round pick, will be tasked with taking on a starting role after being mostly limited to special teams to begin his career. He played eight defensive snaps (11 percent) versus the Saints in Week 4 after playing just one defensive snap, the first of his NFL career, in Week 3. Andersen, while filling in for Landman in Week 2 and Week 3, played 94 and 99 percent of defensive snaps, so Bertrand could be thrust into a similar spotlight role versus Tampa Bay's offense.

Jase McClellan - Could miss Week 5 McClellan (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers.
Impact McClellan popped up on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday as a limited participant in practice due to an illness. The rookie running back out of Alabama has been a healthy scratch for all four of Atlanta's games this season, so it wouldn't be a significant loss if he's forced to miss Thursday night's contest because of this illness.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Kaleb McGary - Ready to rock McGary (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Buccaneers.
Impact McGary missed the Falcons' Week 4 win over the Saints after sustaining a knee injury the week prior, but following a full practice session Wednesday, he appears to have moved past the issue. Expect McGary to serve as the Falcons' top left tackle during Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Buccaneers.

Ray-Ray McCloud - Cleared for TNF McCloud (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against Tampa Bay.
Impact McCloud played 98 percent of Atlanta's snaps on offense in a 26-24 win over the Saints on Sunday, moving his snap share for the season up to 86 percent. He's also seen a surprising amount of the Falcons' targets, with 19 percent share putting him slightly behind WR Darnell Mooney (21 percent) and well ahead of RB Bijan Robinson (14 percent) and TE Kyle Pitts (13 percent). Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson's extreme reliance on three-wide sets has been kind to McCloud, who should be ready for another large snap count after the Falcons upgraded to 'full participation' on Wednesday's practice report.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Bijan Robinson - Clear for Week 5 Robinson (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers.
Impact Robinson was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report due to a hamstring injury and followed it up with a cap on his reps at Tuesday's walkthrough. However, he was able to end Week 5 prep with a full session Wednesday and thus is clear for Thursday Night Football. Robinson even said as much Wednesday, telling D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he's "ready to go for tomorrow." Through four games this season, Robinson has racked up 70 touches for 359 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Troy Andersen - Won't play in Week 5 Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Wednesday that Anderson (knee) won't play in Thursday night's matchup against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site r...
Impact The third-year linebacker will not suit up for the Falcons' Week 5 divisional matchup after sustaining a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Week 4's win over the Saints. Andersen has been wreaking havoc on opposing offenses through the Falcons' first four contests, racking up 44 total tackles and one pick-six. Expect JD Bertrand to see more work with Atlanta's first-team defense in Andersen's stead.

3-time defending NFC South champion Bucs face Falcons with chance to build off strong 3-1 start

Bijan Robinson - Feels ready for Thursday night Robinson (hamstring) said Wednesday he's "ready to go for [Thursday]," when the Falcons will take on the Buccaneers at home, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitutio...
Impact Robinson downplayed his presence on Atlanta's injury report, saying he's dealing with " little nics and bruises." He's been listed as 'limited' in back-to-back estimated practice sessions after having also dealt with a shoulder injury before being cleared for the Falcons' win over the Saints in Week 4. Wednesday's final practice report of the week will reveal whether Robinson has managed to 'full' practice levels, and his official game designation heading into Thursday Night Football. While Robinson doesn't seem to be in any danger of missing time, if he's hampered by injury at all Tyler Allgeier could handle an increased workload.
OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Troy Andersen - Secures pick-six in win Andersen recorded 17 total tackles (10 solo), an interception and a pass defensed in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints.
Impact Andersen had himself a day against New Orleans, securing a career-high 17 takedowns in the victory. Additionally, he intercepted Derek Carr in the second quarter, returning it for a 47-yard touchdown. The linebacker was estimated as a non-participant at practice Monday with a knee injury and his status will be worth monitoring ahead of the team's matchup with the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. Through four games in 2024, Andersen has compiled 44 total tackles (26 solo), an interception and a pass defensed.

Ray-Ray McCloud - Limited in practice Tuesday McCloud (ankle) is listed as 'limited' on Tuesday's injury report, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact McCloud has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions, so his activity level Wednesday will be crucial in forecasting the No. 3 wide receiver's availability for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Buccaneers. If McCloud is able to practice in at least a limited fashion once more, it will bode well for his chances of being available Week 5. KhaDarel Hodge will figure to see increased work behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney if McCloud is forced to miss any time.
OCTOBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Bijan Robinson - Limited in practice again Robinson (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Tuesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Robinson has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions due to a hamstring issue. As he's facing a short week of rest prior to Thursday's key divisional matchup against the Buccaneers, the extent of Robinson's participation in Wednesday's practice will be telling as to his overall health for Week 5. If Robinson enters Thursday's matchup at anything less than 100 percent health, Atlanta could opt to lean on Tyler Allgeier more heavily than usual in the running game.
