INJURIES

Ruled out for Monday Night Football Hughes (ankle) is ruled out for Monday's game against the Rams, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Hughes will miss a second-consecutive contest due to his ankle injury. In his stead, Atlanta will likely rely on Cobee Bryant to handle a starting role at outside cornerback, while Deven Thompkins dominates reps in the return game.

DNP Friday Hughes (ankle) did not participate in Friday's practice, Tori McElhaney reports.
Impact The Falcons held an estimated practice Thursday where Hughes was a DNP as well, which does not bode well for the cornerback's chances to suit up for Monday night's game against the Rams. With the Falcons eliminated from playoff contention, it is unlikely they will risk the 28-year-old's health by rushing him back. Cobee Bryant will likely get the start at outside cornerback if Hughes is ruled out for Monday's contest.

Listed as DNP Hughes (ankle) is listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Head coach Raheem Morris has already stated that Hughes is unlikely to be available for Monday's game against the Rams, so it's no surprise to see him listed as a non-participant to begin Week 17 prep. The starting cornerback and kick returner looks set to miss a second straight game due to the ankle injury he picked up versus the Buccaneers in Week 15.

Falcons cornerback Mike Hughes is unlikely to return from ankle injury against the high-scoring Rams

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Mike Hughes is expected to miss a second consecutive game with an ankle sprain, leaving undrafted rookie Cobee Bryant and backup C
4 DAYS AGO • Associated Press
Unlikely to return Week 17 Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that Hughes (ankle) probably won't play Monday against the Rams, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hughes therefore seems set to miss his second straight game due to the ankle injury he suffered against Tampa Bay in Week 15. Rookie Cobee Bryant saw more work at cornerback this past Sunday against Arizona, as did veteran C.J. Henderson. Both could again have a defensive role if Hughes indeed sits out against Los Angeles.

Impact Hughes jumped in front of a Sam Darnold pass intended for Elijah Arroyo early in the second quarter, though the Falcons weren't able to convert the turnover into points after Zane Gonzalez's 50-yard field goal was blocked by Nick Emmanwori. Not only was it Hughes' first interception of the season, but it was also his first pick since Week 1 of the 2021 campaign as a member of the Chiefs. The veteran corner is up to 51 tackles (40 solo) and seven pass defenses through 11 regular-season games.

Missing second straight game Hughes (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Hughes was limited in all three practices during Week 11 prep, but he will be sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a neck injury. With Dee Alford (concussion) also inactive, the Falcons may move Billy Bowman from slot to outside corner or start Mike Ford, Natrone Brooks or Cobee Bryant opposite A.J. Terrell. Hughes' next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 23.
NOVEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Hughes was sidelined for the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Colts due to a neck injury, but following a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a chance to return Sunday. The 28-year-old is one of Atlanta's top outside corners, recording 33 total tackles and five passes defended over eight appearances this season. If he's forced to miss his second consecutive game in Week 11, expect Xavier Watts and Billy Bowman to have expanded roles in the Falcons' secondary.

RG Chris Lindstrom active for Falcons but CB Mike Hughes out vs. Colts in Berlin

Falcons three-time Pro Bowl right guard Chris Lindstrom is active for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts in Berlin, but starting cornerback Mike Hughes (neck) won’t play
NOVEMBER 9 • Associated Press
Not playing in Berlin Hughes (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts in Berlin, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Hughes had not only played in each of Atlanta's first eight games of the season, but he had also taken the field for every snap on defense, logging 33 tackles and five pass breakups along the way. However, after he popped up on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday due to a neck issue, Hughes wasn't able to advance beyond limited practice participation throughout Week 10 prep and will now be sidelined for the international game. On a positive note, Atlanta will return Billy Bowman (hamstring) from a four-game absence this weekend, and he could step into a starting role as the Falcons' nickel cornerback, which would allow Dee Alford to shift to the outside and cover Hughes' usual spot on the perimeter.

Questionable for Berlin game Hughes (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Impact If Hughes is unable to suit up Sunday morning in Berlin, Natrone Brooks could step into a starting role at outside cornerback. Hughes has 33 tackles (22 solo) and five passes defensed this season.
