Gonzalez made his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries Thursday in a 29-28 Week 15 win over Tampa Bay.

Gonzalez didn't attempt a field goal in the first half but made both of his extra-point tries. The Falcons attempted a two-point conversion on each of their second-half touchdowns, so Gonzalez went almost the entire third and fourth quarters without taking the field. However, Atlanta drove down the field in the final two minutes of game time and called upon Gonzalez for a 43-yard field-goal try with four seconds left on the clock. The veteran kicker converted to give the Falcons the win. Since taking over as the team's kicker Week 10 against Indianapolis, Gonzalez has made 11 of 13 field-goal tries and 10 of 10 PATs.

Robinson rushed 19 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and secured eight of 11 targets for 82 yards in the Falcons' 29-28 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

On a night when the usually moribund Falcons offense sprung to life, Robinson was the unit's most prolific all-around contributor yardage-wise among the non-QB skill-position players, narrowly edging out a terrific performance from Kyle Pitts (11-166-3). Robinson also went in for his sixth rushing touchdown of the season from six yards out in the fourth quarter, and he extended his streak of consecutive games with at least 70 rushing yards to six. Robinson's catch total was also a new season high, while his receiving yardage qualified as his third highest of the campaign. The elite back should be teed up for another heavy workload in an appealing Week 16 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Dec. 21.

McLaughlin made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Thursday's Week 15 loss to Atlanta.

McLaughlin got called upon twice for field-goal tries in the second quarter, converting from 49 and 52 yards out. It was his third straight game making two field goals, and McLaughlin hasn't missed a kick since Week 6 against San Francisco. He's been very accurate overall this season, going 26-for-30 on FG attempts and 27-of-28 on PATs through 14 contests.

McCollum (hip) won't return to Thursday's Week 15 game against Atlanta.

McCollum suffered a hip injury midway through the second quarter and was ruled out shortly after halftime. He didn't record any defensive stats before his departure. Kindle Vildor has stepped in at cornerback in McCollum's place.

McCollum (hip) is questionable to return to Thursday night's matchup with the Falcons.

The cornerback did not record a stat before exiting. Kindle Vildor and Josh Hayes are Tampa Bay's available backup corners.

Johnson (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's walkthrough.

The swing tackle was not listed on Wednesday's injury report. Johnson has been starting at right tackle in place of Lane Johnson, who has missed the last three games with a Lisfranc sprain in his right foot. Philadelphia does not have another healthy tackle on its active roster.

Hughes is questionable to return to Thursday's Week 15 matchup against Tampa Bay due to an ankle injury, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Hughes was hurt in the first quarter during a Tampa Bay running play. After spending some time in the medical tent, he headed to the locker room to get X-rays. Rookie Cobee Bryant has stepped in at cornerback for Atlanta in Hughes' stead.

Sundell (knee) logged a full practice session Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Sundell remains on IR, but he was designated to return Wednesday. After posting a limited practice his first day back, Sundell upgraded to a full session Thursday. He seems to have a good chance of returning to action Sunday against Indianapolis, but the Seahawks would first need to activate him off injured reserve.

Dickerson (calf) was estimated as a non-participant in Thursday's walkthrough.

The left guard was listed as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough. Dickerson suffered the calf injury in Monday's loss to the Chargers, and he had to go to the locker room in the second quarter before returning. His absence might just be a precaution, but if he has to sit Sunday against the Raiders, Brett Toth might be the next man up.

Johnson (foot) was estimated as a non-participant in Thursday's walkthrough.

The five-time All-Pro has missed the last three games due to a right Lisfranc sprain, and he appears likely to miss another this Sunday against the Raiders. Fred Johnson (ankle) has been starting in Johnson's place but was estimated as a limited participant in Thursday's walkthrough, so the status of both players will be worth monitoring as Sunday approaches.
