The Atlanta Falcons have released their injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Two players, cornerback Mike Hughes and rookie running back Jase McClellan, will not be participating due to injuries. Hughes is dealing with a neck injury and will miss his second consecutive game, which could impact the Falcons' secondary against the Chargers' passing offense. McClellan has been sidelined by a knee injury after being limited in practice on Thursday and missing Friday's session entirely.

Kicker Younghoe Koo is listed as questionable because of a right hip issue but is expected to play. The team has signed kicker Riley Patterson to the practice squad as an emergency backup. Head coach Raheem Morris commented on this decision, stating, "I believe we'll be fine."

Wide receiver Drake London returned to full participation in practice after being limited earlier in the week due to a hip issue. Meanwhile, wide receiver Darnell Mooney did not practice on Friday for rest reasons unrelated to an Achilles injury that affected him earlier in the week. Neither London nor Mooney received a game designation, indicating they are likely to play.

The complete list of player participation for Friday includes several other names who were either fully or partially involved in practice sessions throughout the week.
