A.J. Terrell Jr. - Limited by groin injury Thursday Terrell (groin) was limited during Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Impact Terrell recently returned for Sunday's win over the 49ers after missing four games while on injured reserve due to a groin injury. He practiced in full Wednesday, and while he was limited Thursday, the Falcons may just be playing it safe ahead of the Week 8 meeting with the Buccaneers. For now, Terrell should at least be considered questionable for that contest, though more clarity on his status will likely be revealed Friday.

C.J. Henderson - Limited practice participant Thursday Henderson was limited in Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Impact Henderson practiced in full Wednesday. He was downgraded to limited Thursday, popping up on the practice report due to a groin injury that he's dealt with in the last few weeks. With A.J. Terrell (groin) and Avieon Terrell (illness) also in danger of missing the Week 8 meeting with Tampa, Mike Hughes, Mike Ford and Robert Longerbeam may see more action.

Kendal Daniels - Logs limited practice Thursday Daniels (Achilles) was limited in Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Impact Daniels practiced in full Wednesday, though after being downgraded to limited Thursday, there is concern he won't be on the field in Week 8 versus Tampa Bay. The 23-year-old is coming off the best performance of his career in the Week 7 win over the 49ers, garnering 11 tackles (nine solo) and one interception. His services will be needed even more if Divine Deablo (forearm) can't suit up once again. However, if Deablo and Daniels are both sidelined, Harold Perkins, Christian Harris and Josh Woods would likely be more involved.

Divine Deablo - Upgraded to limited Thursday Deablo (forearm) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Impact Deablo injured his forearm during the Week 6 loss to the Bears, which ultimately kept him off the field for Sunday's win over the 49ers. The 28-year-old didn't practice Wednesday, and while he was limited Thursday, he likely has more hurdles to clear before suiting up Sunday versus Tampa Bay. If Deablo can't get out there in Week 8, Harold Perkins and Kendal Daniels (Achilles) could be in line for more snaps.

Olamide Zaccheaus - Limited again Thursday Zaccheaus (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Impact Zaccheaus didn't play in the 29-20 win over San Francisco on Sunday. While his limited participation in the Falcons' previous two practices is a positive sign, he still may be heading for an injury designation for the Week 8 meeting with Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old hasn't been overly involved this season, catching four passes (11 targets) for 17 yards. However, Zaccheaus plays a role as a return man on special teams, so if he's not cleared to play Sunday, Jahan Dotson and Zachariah Branch may see more action in that area, even more so if Brian Robinson (hamstring) is also unavailable.

Brian Robinson Jr. - Remains sidelined Thursday Robinson (hamstring) did not practice Thursday for the second day in a row, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Robinson has yet to resume practicing after sitting out Atlanta's Week 7 win over the 49ers due to a hamstring injury. Robinson will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out for a second consecutive game, in which case Khalil Herbert would likely be elevated from the practice squad to work as Bijan Robinson's backup again.

Divine Deablo - DNP Wednesday Deablo (forearm) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Deablo has not practiced since sustaining a forearm injury in the Falcons' Week 6 loss to the Bears. The starting inside linebacker does not appear to have progressed in his recovery and will need to upgrade to at least limited participation by Friday's practice to have any chance of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Olamide Zaccheaus - Limited in practice Wednesday Zaccheaus (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Zaccheaus continues his streak of limited practices from Week 7 prep into Week 8 prep. The wide receiver was inactive for the Falcons' Week 7 win over the 49ers despite logging three consecutive limited sessions. This contest shows Wednesday's participation level is nothing new and does not yet move the needle for Zaccheaus' potential to suit up Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Brian Robinson Jr. - No practice Wednesday Robinson (hamstring) officially didn't practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Robinson now hasn't practiced since last Wednesday, when he was limited, due to a hamstring injury. He likely will need to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday to have a chance to play Sunday at Tampa Bay. If Robinson is inhibited or sidelined again this weekend, Khalil Herbert will serve as Atlanta's No. 2 RB behind top option Bijan Robinson.

Brian Robinson Jr. - Not seen Wednesday Robinson (hamstring) wasn't spotted during the open portion of Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact If Robinson goes down as a non-participant Wednesday, it'll mark his third consecutive session in which he's done so as he deals with a hamstring injury. Until he gets back on the practice field, he seemingly is in line to continue missing game action after being inactive this past Sunday against the 49ers, when Khalil Herbert served as the No. 2 RB behind Bijan Robinson.

Xavier Watts - Totals seven stops in win Sunday Watts notched seven tackles (three solo) and forced a fumble Sunday in a 29-20 Week 7 victory against the 49ers.

Impact Watts missed just three defensive snaps, as he continues to be a key part of Atlanta's secondary. The second-year safety has posted seven or more tackles in four of his seven games so far this season and leads the Falcons with 44 tackles (including 0.5 sacks). He also has two defensed passes, including an interception.

Jessie Bates III - Impactful in Week 7 win Bates registered nine tackles (two solo), two defensed passes (including an interception) and one forced fumble Sunday in a 29-20 victory over San Francisco.

Impact Bates contributed in multiple ways during a big day for Atlanta's defense. He finished tied for second on the team with nine stops and picked off Brock Purdy midway through the third quarter as San Francisco was approaching the red zone. For good measure, Bates sealed the win by forcing a George Kittle fumble with less than a minute remaining in the contest. Bates' nine stops were a season high, and the interception was his first of the campaign.

Harold Perkins Jr. - Posts nine stops Sunday Perkins tallied nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 29-20 Week 7 win over the 49ers.

Impact Perkins' tackle total was tied for second on Atlanta behind fellow rookie Kendal Daniels. Perkins finished with his second-highest number of stops so far, trailing only the 10 tackles he recorded Week 4 in New Orleans. Perkins made his first NFL start Sunday, as Divine Deablo was sidelined due to a forearm injury.
