Abdullah (illness) is active for Monday night's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Abdullah was added to the Falcons' Saturday injury report with an illness. The last-minute plague left Abdullah questionable for Monday night's contest. The outside linebacker has overcome the issue in time to suit up as a reserve option behind starting edge rushers Samson Ebukam and Za'Darius Smith.

Moss had imaging done on his ribs Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Moss injured his ribs during the Broncos' 24-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday, joining fellow outside cornerback Patrick Surtain (ankle) on the sidelines. Rapoport relays that Moss didn't suffer a rib fracture, but the Broncos will have a better sense of the fourth-year pro's recovery timeline after they get the results of the tests. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, Surtain is expected to miss at least two weeks, and if Moss is also sidelined for an extended period of time, then the Broncos will have to turn to Kris Abrams-Draine and 2025 first-rounder Jahdae Barron at outside corner for as soon as Week 5 against the Chargers this Sunday.

Ebukam (hamstring) is active for Monday night's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Ebukam missed the Falcons' Week 3 win over the Packers due to a hamstring injury he suffered in the team's Week 2 loss to the Panthers. The outside linebacker is now ready to suit up for Monday's contest alongside recently returned Divine Diablo, cementing the first and second levels of the Falcons' defense heading into a primetime matchup.

Brownlee is in concussion protocol as Week 5 approaches, Antwan V. Staley of the New York Daily News reports.

Brownlee suffered a head injury during Sunday's loss to the Bears, and he was evaluated for a concussion. The cornerback is officially dealing with a concussion, and he'll have to clear protocol in order to be available for the team's Week 5 matchup with Cleveland.

Deablo (hamstring) is active for Monday night's game against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Deablo was limited throughout the Falcons' Week 4 prep and was listed as questionable ahead of Monday's contest. The linebacker is set to suit up, meaning Deablo has likely overcome the hamstring injury enough to put together an NFL-caliber performance under the primetime lights. Rookie sixth-round linebacker Harold Perkins stands ready for relief snaps or to take over as the No. 1 inside linebacker if Deablo must take a diminished role in the game.

Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's contest against the Falcons.

Miller was forced to miss the team's last two contests while nursing a toe injury, but he was cleared to return to action in Week 4. The team appears to be taking a cautious approach with his health, and he will be a healthy scratch versus Atlanta. In his absence, Nathan Shepherd and Davon Godchaux will continue to operate as the primary options at nose tackle for the Saints.

Fitzpatrick recorded 16 tackles (eight solo) and an interception during the Jets' 23-12 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Fitzpatrick's interception during Sunday's loss was the Jets' first since the start of the 2025 regular season, coinciding with the start of Aaron Glenn's head coaching tenure with the franchise, and the pick led to a 36-yard field goal by Jason Sanders midway in the second quarter. Fitzpatrick and three other Jets players played a whopping 93 defensive snaps due to the fact that the Bears finished with a 42:45 time of possession. Given the large workload in Week 4, coupled with the fact that Fitzpatrick missed the Jets' two prior games due to a groin injury, it wouldn't be surprising to see the veteran safety's practice participation limited ahead of the team's Week 5 home tilt against the Browns.

Werner (neck) is active for Monday night's matchup with Atlanta.

Werner suffered a neck injury during the team's Week 3 loss to Las Vegas, but he is all set to play Monday. The linebacker has registered 21 total tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks, over three contests so far this season.

Greenard (ankle) is considered day-to-day after exiting Sunday's game against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Greenard played just 19 defensive snaps against Los Angeles before suffering his injury. If he needs to miss time, Jalyx Hunt, Arnold Ebiketie and A.J. Epenesa would be next in line for snaps off the edge opposite Nolan Smith. Greenard is still looking for his first sack of the season after recording just 3.0 sacks with Minnesota in 2025.

Rush (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Saints but will serve as the emergency quarterback, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Rush started the Falcons' first two regular-season games before being sidelined due to the return of Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa from their respective knee and oblique issues. The quarterback will remain the emergency third option behind the two active players, entering the game only if both Penix and Tagovailoa cannot continue.
