The Atlanta Falcons have released their final injury report ahead of the Monday night game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Falcons, currently second in the NFC South with a 6-7 record, are entering a crucial phase of the season with only four weeks remaining.

The team appears to be in relatively good health for Week 15. Rookie defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro is listed as questionable and might play his first game since Week 8 after recovering from an ankle injury sustained during an overtime win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Orhorhoro returned to practice before last week's game against the Minnesota Vikings but was not active on game day.

Inside linebacker Troy Andersen and rookie wide receiver Casey Washington are confirmed to miss Monday's matchup. Andersen has been dealing with a knee injury that kept him out of practice all week, while Washington remains in concussion protocol.

The full participation list includes safety Jessie Bates III (shoulder), tight end Charlie Woerner (wrist), defensive lineman Zach Harrison (achilles), and defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro (ankle). Limited participants were wide receiver Darnell Mooney (foot/not injury related – rest), offensive tackle Jake Matthews (not injury related – rest), and offensive tackle Kaleb McGary (not injury related – rest).

Players who did not participate include inside linebacker Troy Andersen (knee), wide receiver Casey Washington (concussion), defensive lineman David Onyemata (not injury related – rest), and defensive lineman Grady Jarrett (not injury related – rest).

"Rookie defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro is the only player listed as questionable on the game report," stated a representative from the team. "Inside linebacker Troy Andersen and rookie wide receiver Casey Washington are the only two players ruled out for Monday."

This upcoming match marks an important period for Atlanta as they aim to improve their standing within their division.
