NE Atlanta News

A new name has emerged on the Atlanta Falcons' injury report. Running back Bijan Robinson was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a hamstring issue. This marks the second time this season Robinson has appeared on the injury list, having previously been limited in Week 4 with a shoulder concern and twice during Week 5 preparation because of his hamstring before fully practicing last Wednesday.

Despite these setbacks, Robinson has not missed any games so far. He is currently tied for 15th among running backs with Jahmyr Gibbs, boasting 285 all-purpose yards. In the recent victory over the Buccaneers, he recorded 15 touches for 77 total yards, including 61 rushing yards. The team will closely monitor his status ahead of Sunday's game, with Tyler Allgeier likely to take on more responsibility if Robinson is unavailable.

On a positive note for the Falcons, slot cornerback Dee Alford practiced fully on Thursday after being in concussion protocol following Atlanta's win against Tampa Bay. His return strengthens an already robust secondary lineup.

Outside linebacker Matthew Judon also participated fully after being limited by a hamstring injury earlier in the week. A fit Judon could bolster Atlanta's pass rush efforts this weekend.

The rest of Wednesday's injury report remained unchanged. Linebacker Troy Andersen missed his second consecutive practice session, casting doubt on his availability for Sunday’s matchup. Meanwhile, inside linebacker Nate Landman continued to be limited but showed signs of recovery from calf and quad injuries.

Wide receiver Darnell Mooney stayed limited due to a knee problem.
