Orhorhoro (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Monday. Orhorhoro should be good to go for Monday Night Football against the Raiders. The rookie second-round selection has been sidelined since Week 8, but he's been able to practice with the team since Dec. 4 and will likely have a role defensively for the Falcons.
Orhorhoro, who is on IR due to an ankle injury, is questionable to play against Las Vegas on Monday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. Orhorhoro has been on injured reserve since Nov. 1 and would need to be activated Sunday or sooner in order to suit up Monday. There appears to be a good chance of that happening given his designation of questionable and the fact that head coach Raheem Morris said Saturday that the rookie had a good week of practice, per William McFadden of the Falcons' official site. If Orhorhoro is able to return to action Monday, he would likely return to a rotational role at defensive end.

Orhorhoro was placed on the Falcons' injured reserve Nov. 1 due to an ankle injury, which has caused him to be sidelined for the last four games. His 21-day window to return from IR opened Wednesday, and while he was able to log a full practice Friday, he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to play Sunday. Orhorhoro's next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Raiders on Monday, Dec. 16.
Orhorhoro (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

He was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and the rookie second-round pick has opened the week with consecutive limited practices. Orhorhoro will have to string together full practices before returning from IR, making it unlikely that he'll suit up against the Vikings on Sunday.
Orhorhoro (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports. The 2024 second-round pick from Clemson has been sidelined for the Falcons' last four games after sustaining an ankle injury in a Week 8 win over the Buccaneers. However, he returned to practice Wednesday, giving the team 21 days to activate him to the active roster before reverting to IR.

Orhorhoro (ankle) was placed on injured reserve by the Falcons on Friday, Will McFadden of the team's official website reports. Orhorhoro suffered the ankle injury in Atlanta's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers in Week 8 and he will now be forced to miss at least the team's next four games as he recovers.

He didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss the fifth game of his young career. Expect Ta'Quon Graham to see increased snaps as the Falcons' top rotational defensive end in Orhorhoro's stead.
