adminsportify By adminsportify January 3, 2026

The Atlanta Falcons have made several changes to their Week 18 injury report ahead of their season finale against the New Orleans Saints. Three players have been added to the questionable list due to illness, while two others have been officially ruled out for the game.

Cornerback A.J. Terrell, defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro, and long snapper Liam McCullough are now listed as questionable. This means they may play, but their participation is uncertain. Additionally, defensive lineman Sam Roberts and safety DeMarcco Hellams have been ruled out after being listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report. Both players remain on the injured reserve list and will not return this season.

The Falcons had previously ruled out defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus and cornerback Mike Hughes for Week 18. Tight end Kyle Pitts and wide receivers Drake London and Darnell Mooney are also listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.

In a separate move, the Falcons elevated punter Trenton Gill from the practice squad. Gill was added to the practice squad earlier in the week and will now be part of the 53-man roster for the final game of the season.
