Harrison (knee) won't return this season, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was placed on the injured reserve list in late November due to a knee issue likely sustained in the Week 7 loss to the 49ers. He played in just seven games this season, recording 22 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and one pass defensed. LaCale London will likely remain one of the Falcons' top defensive ends while Harrison is sidelined for the remainder of the season.

The Falcons placed Harrison (knee) on IR on Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison first hurt his knee in mid-October. He missed two games before returning to action in Week 10 against Indianapolis. However, Harrison sat again during Week 11 and had already been deemed out for this Sunday before being moved to IR. Atlanta coach Raheem Morris said Saturday that Harrison had a setback with his knee and will need to get the issue "fixed," which may mean the third-year pro is going to need surgery.

Harrison (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Ohio State product didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and will now be sidelined for the fourth time in the Falcons' last five games on Sunday. Harrison has appeared in seven games this season, recording 22 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and one pass defensed. Expect Brandon Dorlus to have an expanded role on Atlanta's defense while Harrison remains sidelined in Week 12.

Harrison (knee) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison has sat out three of Atlanta's last four games, and now his knee injury is threatening his status for Week 12. Unless he's able to get back to practice Thursday or Friday, it's not likely he's going to play Sunday at New Orleans.

Harrison (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was unable to practice Friday, and the third-year pro will be sidelined for the third time in four games due to a knee injury. His absence opens the door for LaCale London or Brandon Dorlus to move up into a starting role at defensive end opposite David Onyemata. Harrison's next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Harrison (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison downgraded from a limited practice session Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's matchup. The third-year pro from Ohio State has been productive when healthy, recording 22 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles over seven appearances this season. If he misses his third game of the season in Week 11, expect LaCale London to play an expanded role on the Falcons' defensive line.

Harrison (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison upgraded to limited participation Thursday after not practicing Wednesday. The injury appears to be connected with the same issue that kept him out in Weeks 8 and 9. However, after playing in Sunday's loss to the Colts and his progression in practice so far this week, his reappearance on the injury report could be due to workload management. With another limited participation or full practice Friday, the 24-year-old should have a chance to play Sunday against the Panthers.

Harrison (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison returned from a two-game absence caused by a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Colts. His return to the injury report to begin the week is likely to manage his workload, though it will be worth monitoring his status in practice for the next two days.

Harrison logged five tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in Atlanta's loss to the Colts on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison missed the last two games with a knee injury but had a strong outing in his return, recording one of the team's seven sacks. The 24-year-old is having a strong start to the season, totaling 22 tackles (nine solo), including a career-high 4.5 sacks, across just seven games played.

Harrison (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was able to log a full practice Friday, and his lack of an injury designation signals he is ready to go for Sunday's contest in Berlin. Harrison missed the past two games due to a knee injury, but he looks to be ready to rush the passer Sunday. The defensive end's Week 7 appearance against the 49ers led to four total tackles, including 1.0 sacks. His return to this Falcons defense will bolster an already strong pass rush for a tough matchup against a high AFC seed.
