Friday is here, as the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers both held their final practices of the week. We have been monitoring the health of both teams, and we now know who will, will not, and is questionable to suit up in the Panthers’ home debut.
Let’s take a look.
Falcons injury report
Full
• WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder)
• EDGE James Pearce, Jr. (groin)
• LB Kaden Elliss (neck)
• OL Jack Nelson (calf)
• S DeMarcco Hellams (hamstring)
• TE Charlie Woerner (ankle)
• TE Kyle Pitts (toe)
Limited
• WR Casey Washington (concussion) OUT
• CB Mike Ford (groin) QUESTIONABLE
Did Not Practice
• WR Jamal Agnew (groin) OUT
• CB A.J. Terrell (hamstring) OUT
Panthers injury report
Full
• WR Brycen Tremayne (quadriceps)
Limited
• WR Xavier Legette (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE
• DT Bobby Brown (knee)
• S Tre’von Moehrig (illness)
• RB Rico Dowdle (knee)
Did Not Practice
• LB Patrick Jones II (hamstring) OUT
• DT Tershawn Wharton (hamstring) OUT
Reviewing the Falcons injury report first, we officially received news that corner A.J. Terrell will not play. This isn’t surprising though, as Falcons’ head coach Raheem Morris said that he considers Terrell week-to-week as he recovers from a hamstring injury. The Falcons will also be without kick returner Jamal Agnew, who missed practice all week due to a groin injury. Corner Mike Ford is also dealing with a groin injury, but is considered questionable to play on Sunday.
Looking at Carolina, they ruled out two players: defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton and linebacker Patrick Jones II. Something to keep an eye on is receiver Xavier Laegette, who is considered questionable to play as he is also battling a hamstring injury. I’m sure they will test his hamstring during warmups on Sunday to ultimately decide. The Panthers also put two interior offensive linemen on injured reserve earlier this week.
