Falcons' Zach Harrison: Lands on injured reserve
The Falcons placed Harrison (knee) on IR on Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Harrison first hurt his knee in mid-October. He missed two games before returning to action in Week 10 against Indianapolis. However, Harrison sat again during Week 11 and had already been deemed out for this Sunday before being moved to IR. Atlanta coach Raheem Morris said Saturday that Harrison had a setback with his knee and will need to get the issue "fixed," which may mean the third-year pro is going to need surgery.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Out for Week 12
Harrison (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
The Ohio State product didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and will now be sidelined for the fourth time in the Falcons' last five games on Sunday. Harrison has appeared in seven games this season, recording 22 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and one pass defensed. Expect Brandon Dorlus to have an expanded role on Atlanta's defense while Harrison remains sidelined in Week 12.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: DNP to start week
Harrison (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Harrison has sat out three of Atlanta's last four games, and now his knee injury is threatening his status for Week 12. Unless he's able to get back to practice Thursday or Friday, it's not likely he's going to play Sunday at New Orleans.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Not playing Week 11
Harrison (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Harrison was unable to practice Friday, and the third-year pro will be sidelined for the third time in four games due to a knee injury. His absence opens the door for LaCale London or Brandon Dorlus to move up into a starting role at defensive end opposite David Onyemata. Harrison's next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Could play Sunday
Harrison (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Harrison downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's matchup. The third-year pro from Ohio State has been productive when healthy, recording 22 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles over seven appearances this season. If he misses his third game of the season in Week 11, expect LaCale London to play an expanded role on the Falcons' defensive line.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Limited participant in practice
Harrison (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.
Harrison upgraded to limited participation Thursday after not practicing Wednesday. The injury appears to be related to that which sidelined him for Weeks 8 and 9. However, Harrison's ability to play in Sunday's overtime loss to the Colts and his progression in practice this week implies Thursday's limited participation may be attributed to workload management. With limited participation or a full practice Friday, the 24-year-old should have a chance to play Sunday against the Panthers.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Back on injury report
Harrison (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Harrison returned from a two-game absence caused by a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Colts. His return to the injury report to begin the week is likely to manage his workload, though it will be worth monitoring his status in practice for the next two days.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Productive in return
Harrison logged five tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in Atlanta's loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Harrison missed the last two games with a knee injury but had a strong outing in his return, recording one of the team's seven sacks. The 24-year-old is having a strong start to the season, totaling 22 tackles (nine solo), including a career-high 4.5 sacks, across just seven games played.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Cleared for Sunday
Harrison (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Harrison was able to log a full practice Friday, and his lack of an injury designation signals he is ready to go for Sunday's contest in Berlin. Harrison missed the past two games due to a knee injury, but he looks to be ready to rush the passer Sunday. The defensive end's Week 7 appearance against the 49ers led to four total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. His return to this Falcons defense will bolster an already strong pass rush for a tough matchup against a high AFC seed.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Downgrades to limited practice
Harrison (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Harrison has missed Atlanta's past two games due to a knee issue. He promisingly logged a full practice Wednesday but was a limited participant one day later. Harrison's participation level Friday should help clarify his odds of returning to action Sunday in Berlin, Germany against Indianapolis.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Logs full practice Wednesday
Harrison (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
A knee injury prevented Harrison from playing in the Falcons' last two games, but his ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that he is on track to return against the Colts on Sunday. Harrison's return would mean less defensive snaps available for the likes of Brandon Dorlus, LaCale London (shoulder) and Sam Roberts.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Won't play Sunday
Harrison (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
The Ohio State product downgraded from a limited practice Thursday to a DNP on Friday and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a knee injury. While Harrison remains out in Week 9, expect Brandon Dorlus to start opposite David Onyemata on the Falcons' defensive line.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Harrison (knee) didn't participate in Atlanta's practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Harrison is still dealing with the knee injury that forced him to sit out the Week 8 loss to Miami. If the 24-year-old ends up missing his second straight game, Brandon Dorlus will likely start at defensive end once again during Sunday's matchup versus the Patriots.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Won't play Week 8
Harrison (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
A knee injury sustained in Week 7 against the 49ers limited Harrison's practice participation all week, but he has been cleared to play against Miami after going through pregame warmups. The 2023 third-rounder has recorded at least 1.0 sacks in three of his last five games, and that pass-rushing ability will need to be made up by Brandon Dorlus and Ta'Quon Graham.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Questionable for Sunday
Harrison (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
Harrison practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week after likely sustaining a knee injury in the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the 49ers. He's started all six of Atlanta's games this season, recording 17 total tackles, including a career-high 3.5 sacks, and one pass defended. If he's forced to miss the Week 8 contest, expect Brandon Dorlus to start opposite David Onyemata on the Falcons' defensive line.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Limited in Thursday's practice
Harrison (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Harrison has opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, and he would likely avoid an injury designation for Week 8 against the Dolphins if he were to practice in full Friday. The 2023 third-rounder started in just one regular-season game across his first two years in the NFL, but he has started in each of the first six games of 2025 and has accumulated 17 tackles (eight solo), including 3.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble.

Falcons' Zach Harrison: Dealing with knee issue
Harrison was estimated to be a limited participant Wednesday due to a knee injury, but the team did not hold and official practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Harrison recorded a sack and played his usual allotment of defensive snaps this past Sunday against San Francisco, but he appears to have picked up a knee injury in the contest. The issue may not be serious given that he was able to practice in a limited capacity to begin Week 8 prep. Still, Harrison could enter the weekend with an injury status if he isn't able to practice in full by the end of the week.
