The Atlanta Falcons concluded their practice sessions on Friday, releasing an injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

At the start of the week, eight Falcons players were limited or absent from practice due to injuries. By week's end, five of these absences were attributed to rest days rather than injuries. However, three players remain affected by injuries: safety Justin Simmons practiced in a limited capacity due to a hamstring issue, while rookies JD Bertrand and Ruke Orhorhoro have been ruled out for Sunday with concussion and ankle injuries, respectively.

Justin Simmons is expected to play as he has no game designation. Three players are listed as questionable: linebacker Troy Andersen, guard Chris Lindstrom, and center Drew Dalman. Encouragingly, all three participated fully in Friday's practice.

The Falcons' full injury report is detailed below:

**Full Participation**
