Bowman (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Bowman was removed from the Falcons' Week 6 loss against the Bears and did not return due to a hamstring injury, which also prevented him from practicing during Week 7 prep. His absence means Sydney Brown should see an uptick in defensive snaps during Sunday's contest, and Bowman's next chance to play is Week 8 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Huntley will start Sunday's Week 7 matchup against Cincinnati if Lamar Jackson (ankle) is unable to play, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Jackson said Friday that he is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, and though he's receiving treatment on a daily basis, he's officially questionable to suit up Sunday and is considered a game-time decision. The star quarterback has already missed two games because of the injury, and Huntley has stepped in to lead Baltimore to a 1-1 record during that span. While Huntley was excellent in throwing for 201 yards and two touchdowns (and adding a rushing score) Week 5 against Atlanta, he fell back this past Sunday in a loss to Cleveland, throwing for just 165 yards and one score (albeit without committing any turnovers). Whichever Ravens QB starts against the Bengals will face a defense that has given up only five passing touchdowns through five games, though Cincinnati has also given up the fifth-most rushing yards to QBs.

Ward (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Ward appeared on the Browns' Friday injury report with a new hand injury. The cornerback managed to log a limited session despite the issue, but it remains uncertain whether he will be able to play through the injury in Sunday's contest. If Ward cannot suit up, Mekhi Blackmon or Toriano Pride will start at outside cornerback across from Tyson Campbell.

Smith (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Smith opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday. He's working through a neck injury that forced him to be sidelined for Week 6 against the Bears, and his status for Sunday's contest may not be officially known until the Falcons announce their list of inactive players about 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Smith's return would bolster the Falcons' depth at the edge rusher position behind Samson Ebukam (hamstring) and Cameron Thomas.

Nolen (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Nolen suffered an ankle injury during the Cardinals' Week 6 win over the Rams. The defensive tackle has not practiced since sustaining the injury and has naturally been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest. Andrew Billings and L.J. Collier will need to step up on the defensive line next to Roy Lopez for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Daniels (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Daniels suffered a scary neck injury in Week 6 against the Bears, when he was stretchered off the field and transported to a local hospital. He was cleared to practice in Week 7 prep and ended up finishing with a FP-LP-FP log. Daniels is understandably not in the clear just yet, but he could be given the green light by medical staff once he goes through pregame warmups Sunday.

Terrell (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Terrell was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and logged a trio of limited practices. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a groin injury that landed him on IR in late September, and Terrell would likely start opposite Mike Hughes at outside cornerback if he's cleared to return Sunday.

Henderson (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Henderson didn't play against the Bears in Week 6 due to a groin injury, and he was limited in the first two practices of Week 7 prep before logging a full session Friday. The full practice is a positive sign that the seventh-year defensive back will be available for Sunday's game, but his official status might not be known until about 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, which is when the Falcons announce their list of inactive players.

Deablo (forearm) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Deablo was held out of practice all week due to a forearm injury that he picked up in a Week 6 loss to Chicago. Harold Perkins and Josh Woods figure to be the top candidates to start alongside Kendal Daniels (neck) at inside linebacker in the absence of Deablo, whose next chance to play is Week 8 against Tampa Bay on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Collins (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Collins opened the season on injured reserve due to a hip injury, but he was designated to return from IR on Wednesday and strung together an LP-FP-FP practice log during Week 7 prep. He would need to be activated from IR by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order to be available for Sunday's contest. If he's cleared to play, then most of Collins' work would likely come on special teams, though he would be in the mix for some snaps on offense if Olamide Zaccheaus (shoulder) is not cleared to play against San Francisco.
