What happened: Atlanta Falcons head coach Stefanski confirmed that rookie defensive tackle Anterio Thompson remains away from the team while dealing with an injury. The defensive lineman has been sidelined and not present for team activities.

Why it matters: The 2-4 Falcons continue navigating multiple defensive injuries as they approach the middle of the regular season. Thompson's continued absence tests Atlanta's interior defensive line depth behind the starting rotation.

What to watch: The Falcons will monitor Thompson's recovery as preparations continue for their next regular-season matchup.
