Falcons vs Seahawks injury report: Latest updates, news for Week 7

After defeating NFC South opponents in three consecutive weeks, the Atlanta Falcons will host a talented Seattle Seahawks team at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Week 7.

While the Falcons will look to keep their three-game winning streak alive, the Seahawks are desperate to end a three-game losing streak. First-year head coach Mike Macdonald led his team to a 3-0 start before losing to the Detroit Lions, New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers.

On Friday, the Falcons released their final Week 7 injury report with game designations. Linebackers Troy Andersen (knee) and Lorenzo Carter (concussion) have been ruled out while safety Justin Simmons (hamstring) has been listed as questionable.

Bijan Robinson injury update

Robinson was never listed with an actual injury but was limited on Wednesday and Thursday for rest. The second-year running back has been battling a hamstring injury all year, so this was likely just precautionary. Robinson rushed for two touchdowns in Week 6.

Justin Simmons injury update

Simons suffered a hamstring injury during last weekend’s win over the Carolina Panthers. The veteran safety missed Wednesday’s practice but returned Thursday as a limited participant. Simmons is officially questionable for Week 7. Richie Grant would start if Simmons can’t play.

Troy Andersen injury update

Andersen has missed the last two weeks due to a knee injury he suffered during the team’s Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints. The former second-round pick did not participate on Wednesday or Thursday but was limited on Friday. Andersen has been ruled out for Sunday’s game.

Antonio Hamilton injury update

Hamilton has been battling a back injury in practice all week. On Friday, head coach Raheem Morris said Hamiton would be listed as questionable for Week 7.
