Dorlus (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dorlus didn't practice all week after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Week 17 win over the Rams, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined Sunday. The second-year pro from Oregon was one of the NFL's top interior pass rushers in 2025, recording 27 total tackles, including 8.5 sacks, across 15 appearances. While Dorlus is out for the Week 18 contest, expect Elijah Garcia to operate as the Falcons' top reserve defensive end.

Dorlus (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dorlus couldn't finish Monday's win over the Rams after suffering an injury early in the second half. He was deemed a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report (Atlanta held a walkthrough) and was labeled with another DNP for Thursday's padded practice. The initial belief was that Dorlus' injury was to his knee, but it's since been discovered that he actually hurt his hamstring, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com. Head coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that the team "dodged a big-time bullet" with Dorlus, according to Raimondi, but the second-year defensive end still isn't expected to play in Atlanta's regular-season finale Sunday against New Orleans, per McElhaney.

Dorlus (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday night's contest against the Rams, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dorlus recorded a sack of Matthew Stafford on the Rams' first offensive play of the second half before later suffering a left knee injury during the possession. The defensive lineman had to be helped off the field, and he was putting hardly any pressure on his left leg, per McElhaney. In his absence, Elijah Garcia is a top candidate to see an increased workload on the defensive line versus Los Angeles.

Dorlus (illness/shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dorlus missed the first two practices of Week 16 prep due to an illness and shoulder injury. He drew the questionable tag after logging a limited practice Friday, and he has progressed enough in his recovery to play in Sunday's road tilt. The second-year defensive lineman has accumulated 25 tackles (14 solo), including 7.0 sacks, through 13 regular-season games.

Dorlus (illness/shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dorlus accounted for two tackles, including one sack, in the Falcons' Week 15 win, but has not practiced in back-to-back days to open the week. The 24-year-old is in danger of missing Week 16 if he is unable to practice in any form Friday. Ruke Orhorhoro (groin), who was limited in practice Thursday, is listed as the next man up behind Dorlus. Should neither of them be available, Kentavius Street could see an increased role against the Cardinals.

Dorlus recorded two total tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Thursday's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year pro from Oregon returned from a one-game absence Thursday and made his impact felt, taking down Baker Mayfield in the third quarter. Dorlus has appeared in 13 games for the Falcons this season, recording 25 total tackles, including 7.0 sacks. He's expected to remain one of Atlanta's top pass rushers in the Week 16 matchup against the Cardinals.

Dorlus (groin) is active for Thursday's game against Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dorlus was sidelined by a groin injury in Week 14, but he logged limited practices ahead of Thursday's game against Tampa Bay. That will be enough for him to suit up, and he should serve as one of Atlanta's top pass rushers.

Dorlus (groin) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dorlus logged a trio of limited practices from Monday to Wednesday, so it looks as though he'll have a fair chance to take the field versus Tampa Bay on Thursday. He wasn't able to suit up Week 14 against the Seahawks due to his groin injury. If Dorlus is unable to play Thursday, however, Elijah Garcia will stand to handle an expanded depth role on defense.

Dorlus (groin) was deemed a limited participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough.

EDGE Analysis

Dorlus was also estimated as limited for Monday's walkthrough. He didn't play Sunday against the Seahawks due to a groin issue, and with a quick turnaround ahead of Thursday's battle against the Bucs, he's in danger of missing a second straight game. However, Dorlus' status for that contest should become more clear with Wednesday's practice report.

Dorlus (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dorlus has played through an oblique issue the last few weeks, but he was unable to practice all week with the groin injury. He'll be forced to miss his first game of the season and will leave a void in Atlanta's pass rush after logging 4.5 sacks across his last five games.
