Falcons' rookies shine in dominant defensive win over Vikings

The Atlanta Falcons have improved their defense from last season's struggles against the Minnesota Vikings

SEPTEMBER 15 • Associated Press

Makes impact during SNF Dorlus finished with three tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 22-6 win over the Vikings.

Impact Dorlus was a 2024 fourth-round pick but appeared in only two games as a rookie. Zach Harrison and David Onyemata are the Falcons' top defensive linemen, while Dorlus is splitting snaps with Ruke Orhorhoro and LaCale London. In that role, Dorlus has played just under 50 percent of Atlanta's defensive snaps through two games. This could be a sign of things to come for Dorlus, but unless he starts seeing more snaps, it'll be difficult for him to replicate this type of production consistently.

Past abdomen issue Dorlus (abdomen) was spotted participating in Thursday's practice.

Impact Dorlus was inactive for Atlanta's 2024 season finale due to an abdomen injury, but his participation in Thursday's OTAs suggest he's moved past the issue. The second-year pro from Oregon appeared in just two games during his rookie campaign, recording three total tackles over 25 total snaps (19 defensive and six on special teams). Dorlus is likely to compete for a depth role on the Falcons' defensive line as the summer progresses.

Won't play vs. Carolina Dorlus (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Dorlus popped up on Friday's injury report as a DNP due to an abdominal injury, and he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery over the weekend to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. Kentavius Street and Ruke Orhorhoro will serve as Atlanta's rotational defensive ends behind starters Zach Harrison and Grady Jarrett due to Dorlus' injury.

Dealing with abdomen injury Dorlus (abdomen) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dorlus was a late addition to Atlanta's injury report, popping up as a non-participant at Friday's practice due to an abdomen issue. However, the rookie defensive tackle from Oregon still has a chance to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. If Dorlus can play through his abdomen injury in Week 18, he'll likely serve as a depth piece on the Falcons' defensive line.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive for opener Dorlus (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Dorlus is one of four Falcons rookies who were healthy scratches ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener. Kentavius Street, Eddie Goldman, Ta'Quon Graham and James Smith-Williams will be Atlanta's defensive line depth options versus Pittsburgh.
