Dupree (back) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Dupree wasn't on Atlanta's injury report heading into the weekend, but he'll nonetheless miss Sunday's clash with the Panthers. He's been a key part of the Falcons' pass rush this season, logging at least 57 percent of the team's defensive snaps each week and accumulating 5.0 sacks, second-most on the team. Lorenzo Carter could see more work with Dupree out.

Dupree registered seven tackles (three solo), including two sacks, during Sunday's 13-8 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Dupree recorded a season-high seven tackles, tying Jessie Bates for the team high. Dupree also recorded multiple sacks in the same game for the first time this year, giving him five QB takedowns through 12 games. He's finished a season with more than five sacks four times in his career, but not since 2020, which was his final campaign in Pittsburgh.

Dupree (groin) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Titans, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dupree landed on the injury report Friday with a groin injury and was a limited participant during Atlanta's final practice of Week 8 prep. However, the veteran will still suit up and figures to play a prominent role on defense. Across seven games, Dupree has totaled 17 tackles, two sacks and two pass defenses while playing at least 65 percent of the team's defensive snaps in each contest.

Dupree (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Titans, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dupree was limited at practice Friday due to a groin injury that he presumably sustained during the week. If he sits out in Week 8, Lorenzo Carter would probably see an uptick in pass-rushing opportunities.

Dupree recorded four tackles (one solo) and 1.5 sacks during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Dupree continues to play a solid role in Atlanta's defense, playing around 75 percent of the team's defensive snaps over the past four weeks. During that stretch, the veteran pass rusher has recorded 12 tackles, two sacks and two pass defenses. Dupree is likely a hit-or-miss option, but he can certainly rack up IDP points quickly when he's getting after the quarterback like he was Sunday.

Dupree said Tuesday that he's 100 percent recovered from a torn pectoral muscle he suffered late in the 2022 campaign, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dupree also dealt with a pair of hip flexor injuries earlier in the season and appeared in just 11 total games for a third straight campaign. In his last healthy season (2019), the 2015 first-round pick recorded career highs in sacks (11.5) and forced fumbles (four). If Dupree can come anywhere close to that production in 2023, his one-year, $5 million deal will be a steal for the Falcons.

Dupree and the Falcons agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dupree will now head to Atlanta after a disappointing two seasons with the Titans, recording just 35 tackles in his tenure with Tennessee. After the linebacker produced 19.5 sacks in his last two years with the Steelers, Dupree only recorded seven over his 22 games as a Titan. The 30-year-old will look to get back on the right track with the Falcons in 2023, though his days as a premier edge rusher have likely passed.

Dupree was released by the Titans on Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the bright side, Dupree didn't have an injury designation tied to his release, so he appears to have recovered from the pectoral injury that forced him onto injured reserve down the stretch in 2022. Dupree had 19.5 sacks for the Steelers between 2019 and 2020, but he mustered just seven sacks across two subsequent seasons with the Titans and has been limited to 11 appearances in each of the past three campaigns.

Dupree (pectoral) is expected to be released in the near future, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dupree is due to make $17 million this season, and the Titans will save cap space by letting him go. The pass rusher suffered a pectoral injury late in the season and may be sidelined into the offseason program. Dupree appeared in 11 games with Tennessee in 2022, compiling 18 tackles, including four sacks, while recording a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.

The Titans placed Dupree (pectoral) on injured reserve Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After departing last weekend's matchup versus Houston with a pectoral injury, Dupree has since found himself on Tennessee's injured reserve, where he'll be sidelined for at least the next four games. Given the plethora of injuries to the Titans' linebacker corps, Tarell Basham, Monty Rice, Andrew Adams and Rashad Weaver figure to operate as the team's starters Thursday night against Dallas.
