Ruke Orhorhoro - Out in Week 9 Orhorhoro (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact The 2024 second-round pick from Clemson recorded one total tackle across 15 total snaps (12 defensive and three on special teams) before exiting the Falcons' Week 8 win over the Buccaneers with an ankle injury. He didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss the fifth game of his young career. Expect Ta'Quon Graham to see increased snaps as the Falcons' top rotational defensive end in Orhorhoro's stead.

Troy Andersen - Questionable for Sunday Andersen (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Andersen upgraded to full participation Friday after beginning the Falcons' week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions. However, his questionable designation suggests that he's still dealing with his knee injury in some capacity and could miss his fifth consecutive game Sunday. If Andersen can't play through the issue in Week 9, expect Nate Landman to serve as one of Atlanta's top inside linebackers.

Justin Simmons - Logs full practice Thursday Simmons (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Simmons was unable to play during the Falcons' Week 8 win over the Buccaneers due to a hamstring injury. The injury limited him in practice Wednesday, but he was able to practice without restrictions Thursday, and barring any setbacks he should be good to go against Dallas on Sunday. Across seven regular-season games, Simmons has logged 28 tackles (15 solo), three pass breakups and one interception.
OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE
Kaden Elliss - Past knee injury Elliss (knee) was a full practice participant Thursday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact A knee injury limited Elliss' practice participation Wednesday, but the 2019 seventh-round pick was able to practice without restrictions Thursday. Barring any setbacks, Elliss should be able to suit up against the Cowboys on Sunday. Elliss has logged 65 combined tackles through the first eight games of the regular season, which is most on the Falcons and 14th-most in the NFL.

Falcons vs. Cowboys Injury Report – Week 9, 2024
See who's in and who's out for the Week 9 matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys on November 3, 2024.OCTOBER 30 • DATA SKRIVE
Kaden Elliss - Dealing with knee issue Elliss (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Elliss had a monster performance in the Falcons' Week 8 win over the Buccaneers, tallying 11 total tackles across 68 defensive snaps. However, it now appears the Idaho product picked up a knee injury in the process. If Elliss is unable to suit up for the Falcons' Week 9 matchup against the Cowboys, expect JD Bertrand (concussion) or Nate Landman to see increased work with Atlanta's first-team defense.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Troy Andersen - Opens week with limited work Andersen (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Andersen has missed each of the Falcons' last four games due to a knee injury sustained in the team's Week 4 win over the Saints. He practiced in a limited fashion last week and has begun Atlanta's new week of practice as a limited participant once again. His participation Thursday and Friday is likely the best indication of whether he can return in Week 9, when the Falcons host the Cowboys.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
JD Bertrand - Doesn't practice Wednesday Bertrand (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Bertrand played 37 total snaps (16 defensive and 21 on special teams) and recorded two total tackles in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay; however, it appears he picked up a concussion in the process. He'll need to clear the NFL's five-step protocol in order to suit up in Week 9, when the Falcons host the Cowboys.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Lindstrom - Misses Wednesday's practice Lindstrom (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Lindstrom was cleared to return to Sunday's win over the Buccaneers after exiting earlier with a knee injury, so Wednesday's DNP is likely precautionary. However, if the 27-year-old offensive lineman is unable to upgrade to limited work either Thursday or Friday, he could miss Week 9's matchup against the Cowboys.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Simmons - Limited to open week Simmons (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Simmons suffered a hamstring injury during the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the Seahawks, which was severe enough to keep him off the field for Week 8 against the Buccaneers. His limited session Wednesday is a step in the right direction after ending last week with a DNP, and his practice participation over the next two days will give a clearer picture on his availability for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Younghoe Koo - Misses another FG attempt Koo made one of two field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers.
Impact After a perfect start to the season, Koo has gone just 7-for-11 on field-goal attempts over the past four weeks, with all his misses coming from beyond 40 yards. His inconsistency from deep drops his value, but the Falcons' offense continues to impress, meaning Koo should get plenty of chances to bounce back.
OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Drew Dalman - Designated to return Dalman (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Dalman has missed the Falcons' last four games after sustaining an ankle injury in the team's Week 4 loss to the Chiefs. However, his 21-day practice window was opened Wednesday and he could return to the field as soon as Week 9's matchup against the Cowboys. If Dalman is not activated to Atlanta's active roster in the next 21 days, he'll revert to IR.
