CHARLIE WOERNER NEWS

Sees snap count steadily increase Woerner caught seven passes (on 12 targets) for 46 yards across 16 regular-season games in 2024.

Impact Woerner signed a three-year, $12 million contract with Atlanta in March of 2024 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with San Francisco. He firmly operated as the Falcons' No. 2 tight end for most of the 2024 campaign behind Kyle Pitts. Woerner saw his playing time on offense increase following the Week 12 bye, playing at least 30 offensive snaps over the final six games of the regular season and logging five catches (on eight targets) for 29 yards over that span. He also registered four tackles (two solo) while contributing on special teams.

Notches fourth reception of season Woerner recorded an 11-yard reception while playing 35 of the Falcons' 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Though starter Kyle Pitts (58 snaps) paced Atlanta tight ends in playing time after seeing his snap share dip to 39 percent during the Week 13 loss to the Chargers, Woerner's 35 snaps still placed him comfortably ahead of Ross Dwelley (eight snaps) for second among the position group. Woerner brings most of his value to the Falcons as a blocker, though he contributed his fourth reception of the season Sunday.

Good to go vs. Chargers Woerner (concussion) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Woerner was sidelined for the Falcons' Week 11 contest against the Broncos due to a concussion. He was limited to start the week Wednesday, but he finished with two consecutive full practices and has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocols ahead of Sunday's contest. Woerner will reclaim his role as the Falcons' No. 2 tight end Sunday behind starter Kyle Pitts.

Logs full practice Thursday Woerner (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

Impact Woerner's full practice Thursday indicates that he is progressing through the league's five-step concussion protocols. He will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play against the Chargers on Sunday. The fifth-year tight end has mostly been utilized as a blocker this season and has logged two catches (on four targets) for 17 yards across 10 regular-season games.

Opens week as limited participant Woerner (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

Impact Woerner was sidelined for the Falcons' Week 11 loss to the Broncos due to a concussion, and Wednesday's limited session suggests the team's Week 12 bye wasn't enough time to fully recover. The 27-year-old must clear the the NFL's five-step protocol in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. If he's unable to do so, expect Ross Dwelley to serve as Atlanta's No. 2 tight end in Week 13.

Won't face Denver Woerner (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Impact Woerner was originally concussed in Week 7 against the Seahawks but returned to the game and played each of the following three contests for Atlanta. Perhaps he reported new symptoms earlier this week. Ross Dwelley should fill in as the Falcons' TE2 behind Kyle Pitts.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Woerner (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Woerner appears to have sustained a concussion in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Saints, despite playing 54 total snaps (36 offensive and 18 on special teams). He will likely need to upgrade to limited work either Thursday or Friday in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the Broncos. Regardless of his practice participation throughout the week, Woerner must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 11.

Returns to game Woerner has cleared concussion protocol and returned to Sunday's matchup with the Seahawks, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports

Impact Woerner suffered a head injury prior to halftime, but he was subsequently able to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol. Barring any setbacks, he should resume his usual role providing depth at tight end.

OCTOBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Enters concussion protocols Woerner is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Seattle, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Woerner sustained a head injury late in the second quarter of Sunday's game. He'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols before returning for the second half. If Woerner is unable to return, Ross Dwelley would step up as the Falcons' backup tight end behind Kyle Pitts.

OCTOBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Generates two targets in Week 1 Woerner caught one of two targets for four yards during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Known for his blocking prowess, Woerner isn't expected to be involved in the passing game very often. In four seasons with San Francisco, Woerner caught 11 passes (15 targets) for 120 yards. Starting tight end Kyle Pitts played 54 offensive snaps in Week 1, securing all three of his targets for 26 yards and a TD, while Woerner saw only 23 snaps on offense.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will be involved in run game Woerner made the Falcons' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Woerner and Ross Dwelley signed similar contracts this offseason and will open the season as the primary backups to Kyle Pitts. Woerner has a strong blocking acumen and is expected to be heavily involved in the running game, per Josh Kendall of The Athletic. Woerner also has plenty of experience on special teams, playing 1,257 snaps over four seasons in San Francisco.
