London (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts in Berlin, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

After he hadn't logged any snaps over a stretch of three consecutive games, London suited up for last week's 24-23 loss to the Patriots and turned in a standout performance, recording a pair of sacks and forcing a fumble while finishing with a season-high five tackles. Though London may have earned himself more playing time if he had been healthy enough to play Week 10, he'll ultimately be forced to sit out the game in Germany after he was a limited practice participant throughout the week due to the shoulder injury.

Hughes (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts in Berlin, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Hughes had not only played in each of Atlanta's first eight games of the season, but he had also taken the field for every snap on defense, logging 33 tackles and five pass breakups along the way. However, after he popped up on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday due to a neck issue, Hughes wasn't able to advance beyond limited practice participation throughout Week 10 prep and will now be sidelined for the international game. On a positive note, Atlanta will return Billy Bowman (hamstring) from a four-game absence this weekend, and he could step into a starting role as the Falcons' nickel cornerback, which would allow Dee Alford to shift to the outside and cover Hughes' usual spot on the perimeter.

Lindstrom (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts in Berlin, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Lindstrom wasn't able to practice fully at any point during Week 10 prep while managing the foot injury, but his two limited sessions Thursday and Friday were enough for him to take a questionable tag into Sunday. The standout right guard has been deemed available following a pregame workout, and his availability should be a major boon to an Atlanta offensive line that will be down its starting left guard (Matthew Bergeron, ankle) for the first time this season.

Mallory (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons in Berlin.

Mallory has been a regular on the Colts' inactive list, having suited up for just one game all season (Week 5 against the Raiders) and playing five total snaps in that contest. He'll continue to be in street clothes on game days so long as the Colts' top three tight ends -- Tyler Warren, Mo Alie-Cox and Drew Ogletree -- are all available.

Giddens (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons in Berlin.

Giddens will be in street clothes for the second straight game while the Colts go with Tyler Goodson and Ameer Abdullah as their backup options behind starting running back Jonathan Taylor. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Kansas State had suited up in each of Indianapolis' first eight games, carrying 18 times for 66 yards (3.7 average) while failing to record any receptions on two targets.

Kupp (hamstring/heel) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Kupp sat out the Seahawks' Week 9 win over the Commanders, but he appears to be trending toward a return after concluding Week 10 prep Friday with a full practice. With fellow wideouts Tory Horton (groin) listed as doubtful and Jake Bobo (calf) ruled out, Kupp should have a regular role in three-receiver sets alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba and newcomer Rashid Shaheed. Kupp has yet to hit 100 yards in a game this season and is averaging a career-low 41.9 receiving yards per contest through seven appearances.

Swift (groin/personal) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Swift missed last Sunday's win over the Bengals, paving the way for rookie Kyle Monangai to step into a leading role en route to finishing with 198 yards from scrimmage on 29 touches. Monangai's big game prompted head coach Ben Johnson to say Friday that he may take a "hot-hand" approach with Swift and Monangai moving forward, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. Assuming Swift is formally cleared ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll draw a favorable matchup against the Giants' 31st-ranked run defense, but Monangai's potential to handle an increased role makes Swift a riskier fantasy bet compared to previous weeks.

McMillan (hamstring) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

McMillan was a late-week addition to the injury report Friday after the hamstring issue resulted in him being a limited participant in the Panthers' practice session that day. Fortunately, the injury doesn't seem to be too significant for the rookie first-round pick, though it's fair to wonder if he'll be able to play a full complement of snaps. McMillan owns a 41-558-2 receiving line on 69 targets through nine appearances on the season.

Tillman (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Tillman was activated from injured reserve earlier Saturday and is expected to make his return to the lineup after being injured in Week 4. With Tillman back in action and Isaiah Bond (foot) ruled out, Tillman should step right back into an every-down role alongside Jerry Jeudy. Tillman, however, has yet to play a game with Dillon Gabriel under center, making him a risky fantasy bet in what is already one of the league's least-potent passing attacks. The good news for Tillman is the Jets' trade of No. 1 CB Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis earlier in the week.

Fannin (hamstring) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Fannin popped up on the Browns' injury report after failing to practice Thursday due to the hamstring issue, but the rookie tight end was able to get in a limited session Friday. He looks as though he's made enough progress to suit up this weekend, though official word on his status won't arrive until the Browns release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Even though Cleveland didn't move veteran tight end David Njoku prior to Tuesday's trade deadline, Fannin should continue to be a viable weekly starter in most fantasy leagues while he and Njoku regularly share the field together. Through his eight appearances this season, Fannin has produced a 38-352-2 receiving line on 51 targets while adding six yards on three carries.
