Falcons' Mike Hughes: Past neck issue
Hughes (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Hughes missed the Falcons' last two games due to a neck injury sustained in a Week 10 loss to the Saints, but Wednesday's full practice session suggests that he's since recovered.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Won't play Week 13
Hughes (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Despite participating in Friday's practice in a full capacity, Hughes will miss his second straight game due to a neck injury he suffered against the Saints in Week 10. While he won't play Sunday, the fact he was able to practice this week is a good sign that Hughes should be able to return for Week 14 against the Vikings on Sunday, Dec. 8. Clark Phillips will likely serve as the Falcons' second starting outside corner Sunday alongside A.J. Terrell due to Hughes' injury.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Still nursing neck issue
Hughes (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
The veteran cornerback was held out of the Falcons' Week 11 loss to the Broncos after sustaining a neck injury the week prior. Hughes has appeared in 10 games this season, recording 46 total tackles and three passes defended. If he's forced to miss his second consecutive game with this neck issue in a Week 13 matchup against the Chargers, expect Clark Phillips to see additional work in Atlanta's secondary.

Hughes was unable to practice both Thursday and Friday after sustaining a neck injury in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Saints, so it's no surprise he's been ruled out for Week 11.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Posts seven tackles in Week 1
Hughes registered seven solo tackles during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Hughes was Atlanta's slot cornerback last season, but he's shifted outside this year, operating as the No. 2 CB opposite A.J. Terrell. Hughes was briefly benched for Clark Phillips in Week 1, and Kevin King, who was up from the practice squad, also saw two defensive snaps, so it's unclear how safe Hughes' starting role is. Regardless, Hughes played 57 of Atlanta's 68 defensive snaps and will have some IDP value as long as he's on the field that often.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Working at outside CB
Hughes is the starting cornerback opposite A.J. Terrell to begin training camp, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Hughes is working ahead of second-year CB Clark Phillips and veteran Kevin King, but Kendall added the Falcons may be in the market for a free-agent cornerback, noting Xavien Howard, Stephon Gilmore, Adoree' Jackson and J.C. Jackson are all still available. Hughes operated mostly as a slot cornerback while mixing in some return duties last year, his first in Atlanta.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Carves out role to end 2023
Hughes finished 2023 with 21 tackles (14 solo) and one pass defense in 15 appearances. He also recorded 46 kick-return yards and 67 punt-return yards.
Hughes signed a two-deal deal with the Falcons last offseason after a strong campaign with Detroit. He operated primarily as a return man to open 2023, but he slowly relinquished those duties to Dee Alford and started to carve out a defensive role. Hughes is under contract for one more season and figures to garner a similar role in 2024, though Atlanta may look to revamp its cornerback room behind A.J. Terrell this offseason.
