Huntley doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Huntley landed on the injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to an illness, but he returned to practice Friday and is cleared for Week 8. The undrafted running back has rushed 40 times for 171 yards and a score over the last four games, but he was outsnapped by Tyler Allgeier 27-11 during Atlanta's Week 7 loss to Cincinnati. Huntley is expected to serve a complementary role to the rookie again Sunday and will likely see his playing time reduced even more when Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) returns from IR.

Huntley didn't practice Thursday due to an illness, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The nature and severity of Huntley's ailment isn't known, but he would be able to put to rest any concerns about his status for Sunday's game against the Panthers by returning to practice Friday in some capacity. If he's cleared to play this weekend, Huntley will likely work as a complement out of the backfield to Tyler Allgeier, who outsnapped him by a 27-11 margin in the Falcons' Week 7 loss to the Bengals.

Huntley rushed six times for 22 yards during Sunday's 35-17 loss to the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Huntley and Tyler Allgeier split carries during the first two games without Cordarrelle Patterson, who's on IR with a knee injury, but Allgeier separated himself as the top back in Week 7 with 16 rushing attempts for 50 yards and his first career NFL touchdown. Huntley played just 11 offensive snaps compared to Allgeier's 29, but both running backs posted less than 4.0 yards per carry. Patterson will remain sidelined for at least one more contest, so expect Allgeier to once again get the bulk of the touches against the Panthers in Week 8.

Huntley notched 16 rushes for 59 yards during Sunday's 28-14 win versus the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Huntley registered one more rushing attempt and totaled eight more rushing yards than rookie fifth-round pick Tyler Allgeier, though neither running back saw any work in the passing attack. With Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) sidelined the last two weeks, Huntley has totaled 18 rushing attempts for 90 yards and one score. However, both of the aforementioned running backs' overall potential will remain limited as long as they continue to split carries.

Huntley rushed eight times for 34 yards during Sunday's 21-15 loss to Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

With Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) on IR, Huntley finished second on the team in rushing attempts behind rookie Tyler Allgeier, who otaled 13 attempts for 45 yards. Huntley was a little more efficient than the rookie, but Avery Williams, who only saw five touches, scored the team's only rushing touchdown of the game. Allgeier is expected to get an extended look as a lead back in Patterson's absence, but Atlanta isn't afraid to mix in other guys, especially if they are running well. However, all of the Falcons' running backs face another stiff test in Week 6 against the 49ers.

Huntley will compete with Tyler Allgeier for the No. 1 running back role after the Falcons placed Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) on injured reserve Monday, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patterson was limited in the second half of Sunday's win over the Browns due to a knee issue he dealt with in practice last week, which paved the way for Huntley, who was elevated from the practice squad, and Allgeier, a rookie fifth-round pick, to garner major roles in Atlanta's comeback win. Huntley rushed 10 times for 56 yards and a touchdown, with the majority of that production coming on one drive in the second half. His performance has earned him a spot on the active roster, but Allgeier likely will get first crack at being the lead back in Patterson's absence. Regardless, both running backs face a difficult matchup against Tampa Bay in Week 5.

Atlanta signed Huntley to its 53-man roster Monday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

With starting running back Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) having been placed on the Falcons' injured reserve list Monday, the team saw fit to promote Huntley from its practice squad. The undrafted second-year running back out of Ball State rushed effectively with Patterson limited during Atlanta's 23-20 victory versus Cleveland on Sunday, taking 10 carries for 56 yards and a touchdown. Huntley actually tied rookie fifth-rounder Tyler Allgeier for the team lead in rushes Week 4, so it would not be surprising to see those two split carries on some way as long as Patterson remains out.

Huntley rushed 10 times for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Huntley was promoted from the practice squad Saturday and immediately made an impact. Lead back Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) may have been limited in the win, resulting in the extra work for the undrafted rookie out of Ball State. Huntley is still third, at best, on the running-back depth chart, but the successful committee approach could earn the 23-year-old more opportunities moving forward. It will be interesting to see how the backfield touches are distributed against the Buccaneers' top-five rush defense next Sunday.

Huntley was elevated to the Falcons' active roster Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Huntley was also elevated last week and saw one carry for three yards. The rookie could see more playing time depending on the status of starter Cordarrelle Patterson, who is currently listed as questionable with a knee injury that is reportedly not deemed serious.

Huntley reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Huntley will shift back to Atlanta's practice squad after he was promoted to the active roster for the team's Week 2 tilt against the Rams. The 24-year-old running back recorded three rushing yards on his lone carry during his NFL debut Sunday, and he will now be available for two more such elevations from the Falcons' practice squad moving forward this season.
