Hughes (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Hughes missed the Falcons' last two games due to a neck injury he suffered in Week 10 against the Saints. He was a full participant in practice all week, and he's progressed in his recovery enough to return to action Sunday. Hughes will reclaim his starting outside corner spot from Clark Philips.

Hughes (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Hughes was a full participant in practice this week but still got slapped with the questionable tag for Week 14. He was injured in Week 10 and has missed the Falcons' last two games. Clark Phillips has been filling in at cornerback in Hughes' absence.

Hughes (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Hughes missed the Falcons' last two games due to a neck injury sustained in a Week 10 loss to the Saints, but Wednesday's full practice session suggests that he's since recovered. With Hughes back at full health, he's expected to start opposite A.J. Terrell as part of Atlanta's top outside cornerback duo in Week 14, when the Falcons travel to Minnesota.

Hughes (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. The veteran cornerback was held out of the Falcons' Week 11 loss to the Broncos after sustaining a neck injury the week prior. Hughes has appeared in 10 games this season, recording 46 total tackles and three passes defended. If he's forced to miss his second consecutive game with this neck issue in a Week 13 matchup against the Chargers, expect Clark Phillips to see additional work in Atlanta's secondary.

Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Friday that Hughes (neck) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports. Hughes was unable to practice both Thursday and Friday after sustaining a neck injury in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Saints, so it's no surprise he's been ruled out for Week 11. Expect Kevin King and Clark Phillips to see increased work with Atlanta's first-team defense while Hughes is sidelined Sunday.
