Xavier Woods - Fills stat sheet in Week 6 Woods recorded nine total tackles (seven solo) and defended one pass in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Woods tied Trevin Wallace and Troy Hill for the most stops on the Panthers' defense in Week 6, bringing his season total up to 44 total tackles. The 29-year-old has remained one of Carolina's best defensive players despite the unit's struggles through six games (33.8 points per game allowed). Expect Woods to continue making plays as the Panthers travel to take on the Commanders in Week 7.

DeMarcco Hellams - Return not near Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Monday that Hellams (ankle) is still "weeks away" from returning, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 2023 seventh-round pick out of Alabama has yet to suit up for the Falcons this season after sustaining an ankle injury in early August that landed him on injured reserve. Morris' comments Monday indicate that Hellams still has a long way to go in his recovery process, so expect Richie Grant to continue serving as Atlanta's top reserve safety for the foreseeable future.

Troy Andersen - Could return in Week 7? Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Monday that Atlanta will continue to evaluate Andersen (knee) as the week progresses, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Andersen has missed the Falcons' last two games due to a knee injury sustained during the team's Week 4 win over the Saints. His practice participation will be the best indication on whether the Montana State product can return to Atlanta's linebacker corps in Week 7, when the Falcons host the Seahawks.

Justin Simmons - Avoids serious injury Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Monday that Simmons (hamstring) "should be fine," Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact The first-year Falcon exited Sunday's win over the Panthers with a hamstring injury, but Morris' comments Monday suggest that Simmons avoided a serious issue. Simmons' practice participation throughout the week will provide a better indication of his potential availability in Week 7, when the Falcons host the Seahawks.

Micah Abernathy - Out for foreseeable future Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Monday that Abernathy (knee) will likely miss "a significant amount of time," Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Abernathy played just three special-teams snaps and didn't record a stat before exiting Sunday's win with a knee injury. Morris' comments Monday indicate that Abernathy's injury is significant, so don't be surprised if the Falcons' top special-teams ace is placed on injured reserve in the near future.
