Divine Deablo and Samson Ebukam added to Falcons injury report as Atlanta prepares for Ravens Sunday night

After a walkthrough Wednesday, the Falcons returned to full practice Thursday, continuing preparations for a prime-time matchup against the Baltimore Ravens at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The Atlanta Falcons moved through a more standard practice rhythm Thursday as they continued to prepare for their Sunday night matchup against the Baltimore Ravens at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. According to the team’s official injury-report update, Atlanta held a walkthrough Wednesday before returning to full practice the following day.

The most notable change in Atlanta’s availability picture was the addition of two defensive players to the injury report. Linebacker Divine Deablo and defensive end Samson Ebukam were listed as added to the report, an adjustment that can affect how the Falcons manage reps and assignments during a week that leads directly into a national-window kickoff.

The injury report update also comes as the Falcons set the baseline for how they will distribute workload across their defense. For a team facing a Baltimore offense, even players who are only “added” for monitoring can influence practice rotations, snap counts, and who handles specific packages in the final two days before kickoff.

Alongside Deablo and Ebukam, Atlanta’s report notes the presence of other personnel tied to the Falcons’ practice week. The team’s listing includes Jake Matthews’ name in the injury-report context, reinforcing that Atlanta’s availability review extends beyond the newly added defensive entries.

Atlanta’s timeline matters because the Falcons are building toward a prime-time game at their home stadium. A walkthrough-versus-full-practice sequence typically indicates how coaches are balancing install work with the need to keep the most important positional groups fresh and ready to execute at speed.

For Falcons fans, the key next checkpoint will be whether the newly added defenders remain limited, return to full status, or continue under monitoring as the week moves toward final injury-report publication. That progression can be especially consequential on defense, where Baltimore’s tempo and personnel groups tend to punish any late-week uncertainty in assignment and pass-rush roles.

Why It Matters

  • Injury-report additions can affect defensive practice rotations in the final stages of preparation, even when players are not ruled out.
  • Deablo’s role as an interior linebacker makes his practice status relevant to run defense and short-area coverage assignments.
  • Ebukam’s presence as a defensive end can shape pass-rush package planning, including who receives reps in specific tempo situations.
  • With a Sunday night kickoff, the Falcons’ next practice and final injury-report release will likely determine how Atlanta approaches game-week usage.
