INJURIES
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.

Limited in Thursday's practice Harrison (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Harrison has opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, and he would likely avoid an injury designation for Week 8 against the Dolphins if he were to practice in full Friday. The 2023 third-rounder started in just one regular-season game across his first two years in the NFL, but he has started in each of the first six games of 2025 and has accumulated 17 tackles (eight solo), including 3.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble.

Dealing with knee issue Harrison was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Harrison recorded a sack and played his usual allotment of defensive snaps this past Sunday against San Francisco, but he appears to have picked up a knee injury in the contest. The issue may not be serious given that he was able to practice in a limited capacity to begin Week 8 prep. Still, Harrison could enter the weekend with an injury status if he isn't able to practice in full by the end of the week.

Positive primetime performance Harrison posted five tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, and forced a fumble during Sunday's 22-6 win over the Vikings.
Impact After operating as a rotational option through his first two seasons, Harrison has carved out a more consistent role in 2025, playing at least 55 percent of Atlanta's defensive snaps in each of the first two weeks. He totaled only 4.0 sacks in 33 games over his first two seasons, so his splash plays Sunday were surprising. Harrison's strip-sack of Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy on the first play of the fourth quarter was the turning point for the Falcons.

Role cut down in 2024 In 17 games in 2024, Harrison recorded 26 tackles (six solo) including 1.0 sacks along with two passes defensed.
Impact Despite playing one more game, Harrison actually played fewer total defensive snaps in 2024 (263) than he did in his rookie season in 2023 (323). At least part of that difference could be explained by Atlanta's shift from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defensive scheme under new defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake. If Lake retains the position, Harrison could be in line for a similar snap share in 2025.

Cleared to play against Bolts Harrison (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Impact Harrison suffered a knee injury in the second half of the Falcons' Week 11 loss to the Broncos. Harrison took advantage of the additional rest courtesy of Atlanta's Week 12 bye, opening the week with consecutive limited practices before finishing strong with a full session Friday. Harrison has cracked 20 defensive snaps just once across 11 regular-season games, though he should see an increased snap count Sunday due to Ta'Quon Graham (pectoral) and Ruke Orhorhoro (ankle) both being on injured reserve.
