Jordan Fuller: Everything you need to know

Fuller (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Fuller has been cleared to return from a five-game absence due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Buccaneers. He started in all nine regular-season games he suited up for in 2024 as a member of the Panthers, but he'll likely see most of his playing time Sunday on special teams while serving in a reserve role in the secondary behind starting safeties Jessie Bates and rookie third-rounder Xavier Watts.

The Falcons activated Fuller (knee) from injured reserve Saturday, but he is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports. Fuller was a full participant in practice all week, and while he's still listed as questionable, the 2020 sixth-rounder is on track to play Sunday. Fuller has missed the last six games due to a knee injury he picked up against the Buccaneers in Week 1, and his return would give the Falcons an additional body on special teams and added depth at safety behind starters Jessie Bates and Xavier Watts.

Fuller (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. Although Fuller practiced in full all week, he still must be activated to Atlanta's active roster in order to suit up Sunday. The veteran from Ohio State has made just one appearance this season due to a knee injury, failing to record a stat across 17 total snaps (16 on special teams, one on defense). If he's able to return for the Week 8 contest, he'll likely operate as the Falcons' top reserve safety.
