Falcons' Mike Hughes: Trending toward playing Sunday
Hughes (neck) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Hughes has missed Atlanta's last two contests due to a lingering neck issue, but it appears he's back in playing shape to begin Week 12 prep. He projects to start on the boundary opposite A.J. Terrell against a pass-first New Orleans offense Sunday.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Missing second straight game
Hughes (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Hughes was limited in all three practices during Week 11 prep but he will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a neck injury. With Dee Alford (concussion) also inactive, the Falcons may move Billy Bowman from slot to outside corner or start Mike Ford, Natrone Brooks or Cobee Bryant opposite A.J. Terrell. Hughes' next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Could return in Week 11
Hughes (neck) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Hughes was sidelined for the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Colts due to a neck injury, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to return Sunday. The 28-year-old is one of Atlanta's top outside corners, recording 33 total tackles and five passes defended over eight appearances this season. If he's forced to miss his second consecutive game in Week 11, expect Xavier Watts and Billy Bowman to have expanded roles in the Falcons' secondary.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Still limited
Hughes (neck) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Hughes was sidelined for the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Colts after turning in limited practices throughout the week. His participation Wednesday doesn't represent a step forward, though he still has a chance to suit up for a Week 11 matchup against the Panthers for the time being.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Not playing in Berlin
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.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Questionable for Berlin game
Hughes (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Nursing neck injury
Hughes was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a neck injury, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Hughes played every single defensive snap and logged five tackles (three solo) during Atlanta's Week 9 loss to New England. He appears to have come out of that contest with a neck issue, but he would avoid an injury designation against the Colts on Sunday if he were to practice fully over the next two days. The veteran corner has 33 tackles (22 solo) and five pass defenses through eight regular-season games.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Remaining in Atlanta
Hughes (shoulder) is slated to re-sign with the Falcons on a three-year, $18 million contract, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Hughes started all 15 of his regular-season appearances with Atlanta in 2024, recording a career-high 66 tackles (51 solo), plus six passes defensed. He prematurely exited the team's Week 18 finale against Carolina due to a shoulder injury, but there have been no indication that the issue will be anything to worry about by the start of offseason activities. Hughes figures to reprise a starting role opposite A.J. Terrell at outside corner.
