What happened: Cornerback C.J. Henderson, linebacker Kendal Daniels, defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr., edge rusher Za'Darius Smith, and defensive end Samson Ebukam are all dressed for Atlanta's Week 7 game, per Marc Raimondi. Dexter and Smith entered Sunday listed as questionable, while Daniels was cleared for full participation during week-of-game practice.

Why it matters: Clearing all five defenders reinforces an Atlanta defense playing without inside linebacker Divine Deablo and cornerback Avieon Terrell on the Week 7 inactive list. The 2-4 Falcons enter Sunday on a two-game skid and lean heavily up front on Dexter, who signed a four-year, $78 million extension on Sept. 30.

What to watch: Atlanta faces San Francisco with cornerback A.J. Terrell Jr. also back in the lineup from injured reserve, while running back Brian Robinson and wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus remain sidelined on the inactive list.
