Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants. The Falcons signed Washington off the practice squad to the active roster Dec. 11 due to rookie running back Jase McClellan (knee) being placed on injured reserve. However, Washington will not play in Sunday's game as the Falcons roll with a three-man backfield of Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and Avery Williams. McClellan's next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 29.

Falcons Injury Report
Washington (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants. The Falcons signed Washington off the practice squad to the active roster Dec. 11 due to rookie running back Jase McClellan (knee) being placed on injured reserve. However, Washington will not play in Sunday's game as the Falcons roll with a three-man backfield of Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier and Avery Williams. McClellan's next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 29.
Drummond (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants. Drummond was elevated from the Falcons' practice squad Saturday for the first time this season. However, he will not suit up Sunday due to KhaDarel Hodge (ribs) being cleared to play. Drummond's next opportunity to be elevated to the active roster will be for Week 17 against the Commanders on Sunday, Dec. 29.
Hodge (ribs) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants. Hodge had a LP/DNP/LP practice log this week while working through a rib injury, and the 29-year-old wideout has done enough to suit up for Sunday's contest. Hodge has logged 11 snaps on offense in the Falcons' three games since the Week 12 bye and has not registered a target over that span.
Carter (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants. Carter finished the week with consecutive limited practices, and the veteran linebacker has done enough to be cleared to play Sunday. In the three games since the Falcons' Week 12 bye, Carter has tallied nine tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble.
The Falcons elevated Drummond from the practice squad Saturday. Drummond's elevation coupled with Chris Blair's signing to the 53-man roster would seem to indicate KhaDarel Hodge (ribs) is on the wrong side of the questionable tag ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants. Drummond appeared in one game for the Lions last season, playing five snaps on offense and another three on special teams. He's yet to see action in 2024 and is still looking for his first NFL target.
The Falcons signed Blair off their practice squad Saturday. Blair played six special teams snaps for Atlanta back in Week 1 but has played zero downs since. He was out of elevations, so the Falcons needed to sign him to the 53-man roster if they were going to have him for Week 16. Blair could get some playing time if KhaDarel Hodge (ribs) needs to miss Sunday's game.
Cousins is expected to be cut by the Falcons before his $10 million roster bonus is due March 17, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports. Cousins has been demoted to the backup role behind rookie first-round pick Michael Penix ahead of Atlanta's Week 16 game against the Giants. The veteran quarterback lost his starting role after posting a 1:9 TD:INT in his last five starts. Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million contract with the Falcons prior to the 2024 season, but Atlanta appears ready to move forward with Penix while eating the remainder of Cousins' $100 million guarantee.
Carter (groin) is questionable for Sunday's outing against the Giants, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Carter has played in all of Atlanta's matchups since the bye week, but it appears he's recently suffered a groin injury as he's landed on the injury report. The severity of the injury and whether he'll play versus New York both remain unknown, but there should be more indication prior to kickoff on Sunday.
