Thank goodness it’s Friday! And with that, the Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks held their final practices of the week. We have been monitoring the injury reports for both teams over the last few days, and we now know who we can and cannot expect to see out there on Sunday.
Falcons injury report, Friday, Dec. 5
• TE Feleipe Franks (calf)
• LB Josh Wood (hamstring)
• RG Chris Lindstrom (foot)
• DL David Onyemata (foot) QUESTIONABLE
• WR Drake London (knee) OUT
• DL Brandon Dorlus (groin) OUT
• S DeMarcco Hellams (hamstring) OUT
• EDGE James Pearce Jr. (back) QUESTIONABLE
Seahawks injury report, Friday, Dec. 5
• WR Dareke Young (quadricep) OUT
• DE Leonard Williams (rest)
• WR Jaxson Smith-Njigba (rest)
• DL Jarran Reed (wrist, thumb)
• LB Demarcus Lawrence (rest)
• LB Ernest Jones (rest)
• TE A.J. Barner (knee, shoulder)
• OL Anthony Bradford (elbow, calf)
• S Julian Love (hamstring)
• DE Rylie Mills (knee) OUT
• RB Kenneth Walker (glute)
No surprises following Friday’s practice for the Falcons. Receiver Drake London is going to miss his third straight game as he continues to battle back from a knee injury. This may be further complicated by the Falcons having a short week next week, as they travel down to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night. Brandon Dorlus, who is among the team’s sack leaders, is also out for this one.
One notable thing to keep an eye on is EDGE James Pearce Jr. popped up on the report with a back issue. He’s considered questionable to play as of Friday evening, but seems to have a good chance to suit up.
There’s not much to say about the Seahawks, as literally everyone on their injury report practiced fully on Friday. Two players though were still ruled out: defensive end Rylie Mills, who has a knee injury, and receiver Dareke Young, who has a quadricep injury.
