Yaya Diaby - Out Week 8 with MCL sprain Head coach Todd Bowles said that Diaby (knee) has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain and won't be available for Sunday's game against the Bears, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' offic...

Impact Diaby exited this past Sunday's 16-0 win over the Falcons with the knee injury, which was revealed to be a Grade 2 MCL sprain following an MRI on Monday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Though Diaby will miss at least one game due to the injury, Bowles expressed hope that the Buccaneers' Week 10 bye would aid the edge rusher's recovery and allow him to avoid a stint on injured reserve.

Zachariah Branch - Sidelined by hamstring injury Coach Kevin Stefanski noted Monday that Branch (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Bengals, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact The same applies to LB Samson Ebukam, with Josh Kendall of The Athletic relaying via Stefanski that either or both of the injured players could face multi-game absences. Through eight games thus far, Branch has caught 10 of his 12 targets for 64 yards. In the 2026 third-rounder's looming absence, Drake London, Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus will continue to lead Atlanta's WR corps, with Chris Blair in reserve.

Chris Blair - No targets in Week 8 Blair went without a target while playing nine of the Falcons' 53 offensive snaps in Sunday's 16-0 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Blair has been active for all eight of the Falcons' games this season, but the 29-year-old wideout has been scarcely involved on offense. He's thus far recorded just a six-yard reception on four targets, three of which came in Week 2. Blair should continue to suit up for the Falcons on gamedays but will provide most of his value on special teams.
