Falcons vs Broncos Injury Report: Mike Hughes, seven others ruled out Sunday

It’s finally Friday when the Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos both held their final practice of the week. We’ve been monitoring the health of both teams throughout the week, and unfortunately, the Falcons have a season-high eight players ruled out on Sunday. Let’s take a look.

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

As mentioned, the Falcons have eight players out for Sunday. Dee Alford, James Smith-Williams, Antonio Hamilton Sr., Charlie Woerner, Ta’Quon Graham, Mike Hughes and JD Bertrand were all ruled out after Friday’s practice. Additionally, Troy Andersen, who was limited in practice this week, will not play against the Broncos. That leaves the Falcons down several starters, especially up front and in the secondary, and removes their best blocking tight end.

Compared to the Falcons injury report, the Broncos’ report was relatively light. They have ruled out Josh Reynolds, Drew Sanders and Delarrin Turner-Yell, while Brandon Jones’ status is questionable.
