Hankerson (hamstring) will not practice Wednesday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hankerson aggravated a hamstring injury during Sunday's game against the Titans, requiring him to be removed from that contest. Now, given the lingering nature of such ailments, Hankerson has already been ruled out of Wednesday's practice, potentially opening snaps for Nick Williams as the week unfolds.

Hankerson (hamstring) was ruled out of Sunday's game at Tennessee, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Removed from the contest without a target to his name, Hankerson will enter the upcoming week with an ailing hamstring, which could afflict his preparation for next Sunday's divisional tilt with the Buccaneers.

Hankerson (ribs) aggravated his hamstring Sunday at Tennessee and is questionable to return, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hankerson tended to the hamstring injury this week, and if he fails to return, he'll emerge from Week 7 without a target. In the interim, Roddy White (knee) and Eric Weems (knee), to a lesser extent, will likely earn an uptick in interest from Matt Ryan.

Hankerson (ribs/hamstring) is active Sunday against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Hankerson was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he was a full participant Friday to clear the way for his active status. He continues to get the second most targets among the Falcons' wide receivers -- trailing Julio Jones -- though running back Devonta Freeman has begun eating into Hankerson's opportunities by catching 25 passes in the last four games.

Hankerson (ribs/hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game in Tennessee.

EDGE Analysis

Hankerson logged a full practice Friday, following limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. Roddy White is still getting a few more snaps, but Hankerson ranks second among Atlanta wideouts in every major receiving category. However, Devonta Freeman has emerged as the second option behind Julio Jones in the passing game, piling up 25 receptions over the last four weeks.

Hankerson (ribs/hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hankerson burst onto the seen as the clear-cut No. 2 wideout to Julio Jones, accruing 17 receptions (on 29 targets) for 241 yards and two touchdowns in his first four contests with the Falcons. However, Hankerson sustained a rib injury in Week 5, and his output has subsequently fallen off a cliff (five catches for 50 yards on 10 targets over the last two weeks). If he emerges from another potentially capped week of drills, he could get back in the act Sunday versus a Titans defense that has surrendered 15.8 YPC and six touchdowns to wide receivers in 2015.

Hankerson (ribs) caught four passes for 37 yards on six targets in Thursday's 31-21 loss to the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Hankerson appeared healthy and filled his usual role, but Matt Ryan completed passes to nine different receivers, and the offensive output was dominated by Devonta Freeman and Julio Jones. While not a reliable option, Hankerson is more likely to have a big game in any given week than any of the Falcons' other complementary pieces.

Hankerson (ribs) is active for Thursday's game in New Orleans, ESPN's Vaughn McClure reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Hankerson, Julio Jones (hamstring) and Devonta Freeman (toe) all active and expected to handle their usual workloads, the Falcons shouldn't have too much trouble moving the ball. Hankerson missed part of Sunday's win over the Redskins because of his injury, ultimately finishing with just one catch for 13 yards on four targets.

Hankerson (ribs) is listed as probable for Thursday's contest at New Orleans, the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hankerson suffered a rib injury in the first half of Sunday's win against Washington, and while he returned, he was contained to one catch (on four targets) for 13 yards. With a full practice under his belt Wednesday, he could take advantage of a potentially hindered Julio Jones (toe/hamstring), who fit in one limited practice this week. More than likely, though, Hankerson will play second fiddle in the passing game, which could still yield desirable results against a Saints' defense that has allowed 16 YPC and four touchdowns to wideouts in 2015.

Hankerson (ribs) was limited at Tuesday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hankerson was also limited Monday after briefly departing Sunday's game with the rib issue. He ended up with only one catch for 13 yards on the day, and at this point it looks as though he could be at less than 100 percent with the Falcons playing Thursday night on a short week.
