Chargers' Bud Dupree: Iffy for Week 12
Bud Dupree (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Ravens.Dupree was a limited practice participant all week due to a foot injury, and he joins Khalil Mack (groin) as the Los Angeles Chargers' two edge rushers with an injury designation heading into Monday's game. Joey Bosa and Tuli Tuipulotu would see a heavy snap count if one or both of Dupree and Mack are unable to play, though Nick Niemann and Troy Dye would also be candidates for additional snaps on defense. In the six regular-season games since the Chargers' Week 5 bye, Dupree has logged 12 tackles (nine solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.

Falcons' Bud Dupree: Gets back on track in 2023
Bud 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 Atlanta 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.
