FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons listed cornerback Mike Hughes and defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro as questionable heading into the Week 14 weekend. Hughes has been working through a neck injury that has caused him to miss a couple games. Clark Phillips III took over his vacated starting spot during that span.
The Falcons have been conservative with Hughes' recovery, as he's been a full participant in practices all this week. However, he is still expected to be a game-day decision Sunday.
Meanwhile, Orhorhoro received a questionable designation as well. The rookie defensive lineman has been on injured reserve with an ankle injury the last month. He returned to practice this week, opening up his 21-day window to return to the active roster on Wednesday. After being limited Wednesday and Thursday, Orhorhoro was a full participant in Friday's final practice before the Falcons travel to Minnesota to face the Vikings.
In other injury report news, the Falcons got a good final day of work out of their inside linebacker core. Nate Landman (hamstring) and Troy Andersen (knee) were full participants Friday. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney was limited Friday, but head coach Raheem Morris has stood firm on Mooney's health with the receiver not receiving a game designation.
