Robinson (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

Robinson practiced in full all week, suggesting he's cleared concussion protocol in time to play in the Week 14 divisional matchup. The fourth-year pro has appeared in nine games this season, recording 13 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks. Now fully healthy, he's expected to play as one of Chicago's top defensive ends Sunday.

Bateman (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Steelers.

Bateman sandwiched full sessions around a limited practice Thursday due to a lingering ankle injury that sidelined him Weeks 11 and 12. In his return to action last Thursday against the Bengals, he logged a 73 percent snap share but was targeted only one time, which he couldn't corral. In 10 appearances overall this season, Bateman's 16-194-2 line on 33 targets hasn't afforded him much sway in the fantasy realm.

Onyemata (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks.

The 33-year-old upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a limited session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday. Onyemata has appeared in all 12 of Atlanta's games this season, recording 43 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. If active for the Week 14 contest, he's expected to operate as one of the Falcons' top interior defensive linemen.

Jackson (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Steelers.

Jackson was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle issue that kept him out of drills entirely Thursday. He told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com on Friday that he was stepped on by a teammate during Wednesday's session, but he's also feeling "pretty good," as evidenced by his ability to cap Week 14 with a full practice. Jackson thus will continue to direct the Ravens offense Sunday versus a Pittsburgh defense that has allowed the seventh-most passing yards (3,177) to opposing quarterbacks in 12 games this season.

Franks (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Franks practiced in a limited capacity Thursday due to a calf injury, but he upgraded to a full go Friday, suggesting he's moved past the issue in time to play Sunday. Now fully healthy, the 27-year-old is expected to contribute on special teams while playing a depth role in Atlanta's tight-end corps in Week 14.

Hendrickson (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

As expected, the 31-year-old is now in line to miss his fifth consecutive game as he continues to recover from a hip injury. In seven appearances this season, Hendrickson has recorded 16 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and one pass defensed. While he's sidelined Sunday, expect Myles Murphy to start on Cincinnati's defensive line.

Brooks (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

Brooks was a full practice participant Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to suit up Sunday. Now fully healthy, the rookie from Texas Tech is likely to contribute on special teams while playing behind Chase Brown and Samaje Perine in the Bengals' backfield.

Epenesa (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.

Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Friday that Epenesa "should be fine" after he missed Thursday's practice due to a foot injury. Now fully healthy, Epenesa is likely to play an expanded role on the Bills' defensive line in Week 14, as Joey Bosa (hamstring) is in line to miss his first game of the season.

Reid (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Erin Summers of ESPN.com reports.

The 28-year-old didn't practice all week due to a knee injury and is now in line to miss his first game of the season Sunday. Reid is an integral part of the Saints' defense, recording 60 total tackles and four passes defensed, including one pick-six, over 12 appearances. While he's sidelined Week 14, expect Jordan Howden to start at strong safety.

Pearce (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Although the 22-year-old is dealing with a back injury, head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Friday that he feels good about Pearce's chances of playing Sunday. Pearce, a 2025 first-round pick from Tennessee, has appeared in all 12 of Atlanta's games this season, recording 15 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble. If he's active in Week 14, he'll likely operate as one of the Falcons' top edge rushers.
