Greetings, Falcoholics! Friday is upon us as the Atlanta Falcons and Kansas City Chiefs held their final practices of the week. We have been monitoring the health of both teams all week, and we now know who is likely to play and won’t play this Sunday.
Let’s take a look at the injury reports!

Looking at the Falcons first, they ruled out a single player for this week: receiver Zachariah Branch. Branch is dealing with a hamstring issue that he’s now had for a few weeks. Branch will hopefully be back to full health as he misses this upcoming game and then the Bye Week next weekend. Linebacker Divine Deablo has been designated as doubtful to play against the Chiefs. Typically, a doubtful designation is about 95% chance that the player misses the game, so I would expect him to be inactive on Sunday.

Additionally, James Pearce Jr. has been designated as questionable to play as he battles a back issue.
For the Chiefs, the only big update on Friday was that running back Kenneth Walker did not practice as he deals with groin tightness. That will certainly be something to monitor.
