Mack (fibula) is listed as active for Sunday's Super Bowl LI against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

On Sunday morning, Mack's lower-leg injury was clarified as a fractured left fibula, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. While Mack will attempt to handle his gig as the Falcons' starting center, there's some question about whether he'll be able to handle his array of assignments, especially in the ground game.

Mack (fibula) is expected to play in Sunday's Super Bowl LI against the Falcons, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

During the NFC championship game versus the Packers, Mack required a stint on the sideline with what was initially termed an ankle injury. The ailment was soon clarified as a fibula issue, forcing him to sit out the first week of Super Bowl prep, but the center practiced in a limited capacity this week before emerging with no designation attached to his name. On Sunday morning, though, Schefter noted that while Mack will gut it out in the trenches, he would likely miss six to eight weeks if the Falcons' season wasn't on the line. In the end, Mack's ability to hold up will be one of pain tolerance, with his toughest task coming as a run blocker.

Mack (fibula) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Mack missed all of practice last week due to a fibula injury suffered during the NFC championship, but he was able to return in a limited capacity this week, clearing him of any concern going into Sunday. Although the timing of his injury is hardly ideal, Mack will still be available to start at his usual center spot, where he's played an instrumental part in Atlanta's offensive success this season.

Mack (fibula) returned to practice on a limited basis Monday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mack missed practice all last week after suffering a fibula injury that caused him to miss a few plays in the NFC championship game. The Falcons might continue to limit him in practice, but it is hard to imagine Mack missing the biggest game of his professional career thus far due to an injury that he has already proven he can play through.

Mack won't practice this week due to a fibula injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was initially though that Mack had sustained an ankle injury in Sunday's win over Green Bay but it appears he instead injured his fibula. The team is keeping him out of practice despite him returning to the game Sunday so that he can be as healthy as possible when the Falcons travel to Houston next week in preparation for their Super Bowl matchup with New England.

Mack is unlikely to practice in the Falcons' first week of Super Bowl preparation due to a sprained ankle suffered in the NFC Championship Game, Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mack was able to return to the NFC Championship after missing only a few plays because of the injury, but the Falcons are taking no chances with their talented center. Mack is nonetheless expected to play in Super Bowl LI, where he should yet again act as an important director for Atlanta's potent offensive attack.

Mack has signed a five-year contract with the Falcons, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mack voided the final three years of his contract with the Browns back on March 2 and he'll now head to Atlanta, where the three-time Pro Bowler will provide a significant boost to his new team's offensive line.

Mack has voided the last three years of his contract with the Browns, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

As a result, Mack -- who had three years left on his deal with the team at $8 million a year -- is a candidate to sign with another organization once free agency opens up. That said, the Browns can continue to negotiate with the three-time Pro Bowl center, who has been a vital cog on the Cleveland offensive line since being drafted 21st overall in 2009.

Mack is expected to opt-out of the final three years of his contract with the Browns, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mack signed a five-year, $42 million deal with Cleveland in 2014, but that contract included opt-out clauses for Mack beginning this offseason. Although he has until Mar. 4 to make such a decision, Mack is expected to forgo the $8 million he's owed in 2016 and become a free agent. While he could still negotiate a new contract with the Browns, the three-time Pro-Bowler Mack should draw considerable interest on the open market.

The Browns placed Mack (leg) on injured reserve Friday. Mack will miss the rest of the season after breaking his leg in Week 6. John Greco will take over as the starting center in Mack's place.
