Greetings, Falcoholics! Friday is upon us as the Atlanta Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals both held their final practices of the week before facing off in Madrid, Spain on Sunday. We have been monitoring the health of both teams all week, and we finally have some game designations to know who will and will not play this week.
Let’s take a look at the injury reports!
Falcons injury report

• CB Billy Bowman Jr. (hamstring)
• LB Yasir Abdullah (hamstring) QUESTIONABLE
• WR Beaux Collins (hip) QUESTIONABLE
• LB Divine Deablo

• OT Cameron Williams (ankle) QUESTIONABLE

• DE James Pearce Jr. (back, non injury related) QUESTIONABLE

Bengals injury report
Full
• CB DJ Turner II (heel)
• S Jordan Battle (hamstring)
• DE Cedric Johnson (ankle, foot) QUESTIONABLE
Limited
• DT Jonathan Allen (rest)
Did Not Practice
• S Kyle Dugger (quad) OUT
• DT B.J. Hill (rest)
• DT Dexter Lawrence II (rest)
Looking at the Falcons first, they have several players who are listed as questionable to play, but two have been officially ruled out for Sunday: receiver Zachariah Branch and running back Brian Robinson Jr. The good news for Robinson though is he’s at least practicing, although on a limited basis. So, hopefully he will be able to return to action soon.
Another notable thing, EDGE James Pearce Jr. is finally able to play after being suspended for the first 8 games of the season. On Wednesday and Thursday, Pearce practiced fully but was on the injury reports but they called it not injury related. On Friday, Pearce had been downgraded to limited with a back issue. He’s questionable to play, but hopefully he will be out there.
The Bengals have only ruled out one player for Sunday, safety Kyle Dugger who has a quadricep injury.
