Impact Harrison recorded the team's only sack of Marcus Mariota in the win. The 24-year-old is now up to 2.5 sacks on the season, and he will look to keep up his high level of play during the Falcons' Week 6 matchup versus the Bills following their upcoming week off.

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.
