Matthews (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against New England, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews has been dealing with an ankle injury since Week 6, but it hasn't yet caused him to miss any contests. Despite finishing this week with a pair of limited practices, he's set to serve in his usual role as Atlanta's starting left tackle Sunday.

Matthews (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews sustained an ankle injury during the Falcons' Week 6 win over the Bills, but he was cleared to play in Weeks 7 and 8. He popped up on Thursday's injury report after practicing in full Wednesday, so his participation in Friday's practice will indicate his chances of playing against the Patriots on Sunday. Michael Jerrell would likely take over as the starting left tackle if Matthews is not cleared to play Week 9.

Matthews (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews missed the first two practices of the week due to an ankle injury, but he earned the questionable tag for Week 7 after logging a limited session Friday. He was able to go through Sunday's pregame warmups without suffering a setback, and he has been cleared to play and start at left tackle.

Matthews (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews began Atlanta's week of practice with consecutive DNPs due to an ankle injury, but after logging a limited session Friday, he's got a chance to return Sunday. However, if the veteran offensive lineman is forced to miss the Week 7 contest, expect Michael Jerrell to step in and start at left tackle.

Matthews was estimated as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews suffered an ankle injury in Monday's win over Buffalo. It's not surprising that he is still suffering from the issue two days later, though Atlanta didn't have an actual practice Wednesday. Matthews has two days to get back on the field for a chance to suit up in Week 7 against the 49ers.

Matthews will not return to Monday's game against the Bills due to an ankle injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews suffered the injury late in the first half and went straight to the locker room. Mike Jerell will take over at left tackle in his absence.

Matthews and the Falcons agreed on a two-year, $45 million contract extension with $38 million guaranteed Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews now will stick around Atlanta for two more years after spending the first 11 seasons of his NFL career with the team. The left tackle has not missed a game since his rookie season in 2014, proving to be one of the most durable players in the league.

Matthews (knee) will play Sunday against the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews had to leave last week's game against the Colts but logged limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday before getting up to full participation Friday. He hasn't missed a game since his 2014 rookie season.

Matthews has exited Sunday's game against the Colts with a knee injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews suffered the injury on a Bijan Robinson 26-yard gain, according to McElhaney in a separate Tweet. The former was slow to get up and make it to the sidelines. He's been replaced by John Leglue at left tackle.

Matthews (knee) is active Sunday against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews suffered the injury during Week 14 against the Buccaneers, but he was able to recover quickly and should draw the start at left tackle for Atlanta on Sunday.
