Falcons vs Giants Injury Report: KhaDarel Hodge, Lorenzo Carter doubtful to play Sunday

Thank God it’s Friday! Atlanta Falcons and New York Giants both held their final day of training and both teams have been heavily beaten this week. We have received game designations for both teams so we now know who is playing, not playing or their status for Sunday is still in doubt.

You can usually expect to see the damage reports here every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Atlanta Falcons

QUESTIONABLE:

• WR KhaDarel Hodge (ribs)

• LB Lorenzo Carter (groin)

OUT:

• WR Casey Washington (concussion)

New York Giants

QUESTIONABLE:

• LB Dyontae Johnson (ankle)

• OL Austin Schlottman (fibula)

• CB Deonte Banks (ribs)

• LB Brian Burns (ankle, neck)

• RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle)

QUESTIONABLE:

• CB Greg Stroman Jr. (shoulder, shin)

OUT:

• LB Patrick Johnson (knee)

• LB Bobby Okereke (back)

• Olympic Aaron Stinnie (concussion)

For the Falcons, only three players are worth noting on Friday’s injury report. Wide receiver Casey Washington has been ruled out as he remains in concussion protocol. The other two players, wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge and linebacker Lorenzo Carter, are questionable to play because of their respective injuries. Having Hodge inactive on Sunday would be a blow to the Falcons’ special teams unit, as he has made a ton of key plays of late.

The Giants have ruled out three players for Sunday, linebackers Bobby Okereke and Patrick Johnson, and offensive lineman Aaron Stinnie. They have some questionable key players to play this week, as linebacker Brian Burns and corner Deonte Banks will be worth monitoring heading into Sunday. Their roster is pretty beat up.
