What happened: Atlanta left tackle Jake Matthews returned to practice as a limited participant on Thursday after missing Wednesday's walkthrough. The team added linebacker Divine Deablo and defensive end Samson Ebukam to the injury report as limited participants with hamstring issues. Offensive lineman Michael Jerrell and defensive end Cameron Thomas upgraded to full participation.

Why it matters: Matthews's return marks progress toward his availability against the Baltimore Ravens, following his early exit with a groin injury on Monday. The late practice additions of Deablo and Ebukam introduce new availability concerns for the Atlanta defense. Official game designations will clarify the offensive line outlook.

By the numbers: Linebacker Divine Deablo recorded 73 tackles and one sack over 13 games for Atlanta during the 2025 season.

What to watch: Atlanta will issue final injury designations for Sunday night's matchup on Friday.
