Now healthy, the Falcons are relying on Harrison to help key the pass rush alongside second-year edge defenders Jalon Walker and James Pearce.

Out for the year Harrison (knee) won't return this season, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Harrison was placed on the injured reserve list in late November due to a knee issue likely sustained in the Week 7 loss to the 49ers. He played in just seven games this season, recording 22 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and one pass defensed. LaCale London will likely remain one of the Falcons' top defensive ends while Harrison is sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Lands on injured reserve The Falcons placed Harrison (knee) on IR on Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Impact Harrison first hurt his knee in mid-October. He missed two games before returning to action Week 10 against Indianapolis. However, Harrison sat again Week 11 and had already been deemed out for this Sunday before being moved to IR. Atlanta coach Raheem Morris said Saturday that Harrison had a setback with his knee and will need to get the issue "fixed," which may mean the third-year pro is going to need surgery.

Out for Week 12 Harrison (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact The Ohio State product didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and will now be sidelined for the fourth time in the Falcons' last five games on Sunday. Harrison has appeared in seven games this season, recording 22 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and one pass defensed. Expect Brandon Dorlus to have an expanded role on Atlanta's defense while Harrison remains sidelined in Week 12.

DNP to start week Harrison (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Harrison has sat out three of Atlanta's last four games, and now his knee injury is threatening his status for Week 12. Unless he's able to get back to practice Thursday or Friday, it's not likely he's going to play Sunday at New Orleans.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Week 11 Harrison (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Harrison was unable to practice Friday, and the third-year pro will be sidelined for the third time in four games due to a knee injury. His absence opens the door for LaCale London or Brandon Dorlus to move up into a starting role at defensive end opposite David Onyemata. Harrison's next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Could play Sunday Harrison (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Harrison downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's matchup. The third-year pro from Ohio State has been productive when healthy, recording 22 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles over seven appearances this season. If he misses his third game of the season in Week 11, expect LaCale London to play an expanded role on the Falcons' defensive line.

Limited participant in practice Harrison (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.

Impact Harrison upgraded to limited participation Thursday after not practicing Wednesday. The injury appears to be connected with the same issue that kept him out in Weeks 8 and 9. However, after playing in Sunday's loss to the Colts and his progression in practice so far this week, his reappearance on the injury report could be due to workload management. With another limited participation or full practice Friday, the 24-year-old should have a chance to play Sunday against the Panthers.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back on injury report Harrison (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Harrison returned from a two-game absence caused by a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Colts. His return to the injury report to begin the week is likely to manage his workload, though it will be worth monitoring his status in practice for the next two days.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in return Harrison logged five tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in Atlanta's loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Impact Harrison missed the last two games with a knee injury but had a strong outing in his return, recording one of the team's seven sacks. The 24-year-old is having a strong start to the season, totaling 22 tackles (nine solo), including a career-high 4.5 sacks, across just seven games played.

Cleared for Sunday Harrison (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Harrison was able to log a full practice Friday, and the removal of his knee injury from the report signals he is ready to go for Sunday's contest in Berlin. Harrison missed the past two games due to a knee injury, but looks to be ready to rush the passer Sunday. The defensive end's Week 7 appearance against the 49ers led to four total tackles and a sack. His return to this Falcons defense will bolster an already strong pass rush for a tough matchup with a high AFC seed.

Downgrades to limited practice Harrison (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Harrison has missed Atlanta's past two games due to a knee issue. He promisingly logged a full practice Wednesday but was a limited participant one day later. Harrison's participation level Friday should help clarify his odds of returning to action Sunday in Berlin, Germany against Indianapolis.

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs full practice Wednesday Harrison (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact A knee injury prevented Harrison from playing in the Falcons' last two games, but his ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that he is on track to return against the Colts on Sunday. Harrison's return would mean less defensive snaps available for the likes of Brandon Dorlus, LaCale London (shoulder) and Sam Roberts.

Won't play Sunday Harrison (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Ohio State product downgraded from limited practice Thursday to a DNP on Friday and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to a knee injury. While Harrison remains out in Week 9, expect Brandon Dorlus to start opposite David Onyemata on the Falcons' defensive line.

Doesn't practice Wednesday Harrison (knee) didn't participate in Atlanta's practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Impact Harrison is still dealing with the knee injury that forced him to sit out the Week 8 loss to Miami. If the 24-year-old ends up missing his second straight game, Brandon Dorlus will likely start at defensive end once again during Sunday's matchup versus the Patriots.

Won't play Week 8 Harrison (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact A knee injury sustained in Week 7 against the 49ers limited Harrison's practice participation all week, but he has been cleared to play against Miami after going through pregame warmups. The 2023 third-rounder has recorded at least 1.0 sacks in three of his last five games, and that pass-rushing ability will need to be made up by Brandon Dorlus and Ta'Quon Graham.

Questionable for Sunday Harrison (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

Impact Harrison practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week after likely sustaining a knee injury in the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the 49ers. He's started all six of Atlanta's games this season, recording 17 total tackles, including a career-high 3.5 sacks, and one pass defended. If he's forced to miss the Week 8 contest, expect Brandon Dorlus to start opposite David Onyemata on the Falcons' defensive line.
