Deablo recorded six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks. Deablo has posted 22 tackles (17 solo) over the last three games since returning from injury. Still, his tackle count overall this season has been low with just 5.1 per game, but he should remain an every-snap linebacker for the fantasy playoffs against the Buccaneers, Cardinals and Rams.

Deablo recorded eight total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints. Deablo made his return to action after missing four games with a forearm injury, finishing third on the team in takedowns behind Dee Alford (10) and Kaden Elliss (9). The eight tackles were also a new season high for the linebacker, as he has now registered 32 total tackles (14 solo), including 0.5 sacks, while also adding four passes defensed and a fumble recovery over seven contests this year.

The Falcons activated Deablo (forearm) off IR on Saturday and removed his injury designation for Sunday's tilt against New Orleans, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports. Deablo landed on injured reserve Oct. 25 due to a fractured forearm. He missed the minimum four games and was able to return to full practice participation Thursday and Friday this week. Though Deablo was initially deemed questionable for Sunday's contest, that designation was removed upon his activation. He should thus return to a starting role at linebacker against New Orleans.

Deablo (forearm) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Deablo is still on IR but is in the final stages of recovery from the broken forearm he suffered in Week 7 against San Francisco. Falcons coach Raheem Morris sounded optimistic about Deablo being activated in time to return to action this Sunday against the Saints, saying, "I don't want to act like I'm going to activate him and not see him. I hope we're going to see him unless something otherwise says something." Deablo has been wearing a cast on his arm during practice, and he could return to game action while continuing to do so.

Deablo (forearm) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Deablo returned to action Wednesday for the first time since fracturing his left forearm in Week 7 at San Francisco, though he was held out of some drills. He donned a club over his hand to begin Atlanta's new week of preparation, which is something that he might be able to take into game action as soon as Sunday against New Orleans.
