Dupree finished with 2.0 sacks in the Chargers' 17-10 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. The outside linebacker also played on more than half of the defensive snaps for the third week in a row. Dupree has six total tackles, two passes defensed and an interception this season.

Dupree finished 2023 with 39 tackles (17 solo), 6.5 sacks, three pass defenses and two forced fumbles in 16 appearances. After back-to-back down years in Tennessee, Dupree signed a one-year, prove-it deal with the Falcons last offseason. The 2015 first-round pick did just that, playing in his most games since 2019 while recording his most sacks and forced fumbles since 2020 -- his final year with Pittsburgh. The veteran pass rusher will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but it wouldn't be surprising if there's mutual interest in a return given the bounce-back campaign Dupree had in 2023.

Dupree (back) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus Carolina. Dupree wasn't on Atlanta's injury report heading into the weekend, but he'll nonetheless miss Sunday's clash with the Panthers. He's been a key part of the Falcons' pass rush this season, logging at least 57 percent of the team's defensive snaps each week and accumulating 5.0 sacks, second-most on the team. Lorenzo Carter could see more work with Dupree out.

Dupree registered seven tackles (three solo), including two sacks, during Sunday's 13-8 win over the Jets. Dupree recorded a season-high seven tackles, tying Jessie Bates for the team high. Dupree also recorded multiple sacks in the same game for the first time this year, giving him five QB takedowns through 12 games. He's finished a season with more than five sacks four times in his career, but not since 2020, which was his final campaign in Pittsburgh.

Dupree (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Titans, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports. Dupree was limited at practice Friday due to a groin injury that he presumably sustained during the week. If he sits out in Week 8, Lorenzo Carter would probably see an uptick in pass-rushing opportunities.
