The Atlanta Falcons returned to practice on Wednesday following their bye week, as they prepare for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite the time off, the team released an extensive injury report listing 14 players, with 12 of them participating in a limited capacity.
Among those limited were wide receiver Darnell Mooney, who is dealing with an Achilles injury, and cornerbacks Dee Alford and Mike Hughes, who are recovering from hamstring and neck injuries respectively. The list also includes four players currently in concussion protocol: Kevin King, JD Bertrand, Casey Washington, and Charlie Woerner.
Notably, outside linebacker Matthew Judon and cornerback Clark Phillips III were listed for rest and personal reasons rather than injuries. Other players facing limitations due to various ailments include ILB Troy Andersen (knee), ILB Nate Landman (hamstring), and DL Zach Harrison (knee/Achilles).
Cornerback Antonio Hamilton Sr., recovering from a pectoral injury, was able to fully participate in practice. However, wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge did not participate due to a neck issue.
As the Falcons gear up for their Week 13 matchup against the Chargers, they will continue monitoring these injuries closely in hopes of having key players return to full health.
