Mike Hughes, Troy Andersen trend in right direction as Week 14 prep begins

Hughes has been working through a neck injury since before the Falcons' bye week. 

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — As Raheem Morris alluded to in his Wednesday press conference, the Falcons enter into Week 14's prep in a good spot by way of health with a lot of defensive roll players trending back to 100%.

Cornerback Mike Hughes was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's been working through a neck injury that has kept him out of the Falcons last two games. In his place has started Clark Phillips III.

Inside linebackers Troy Andersen (knee) and Nate Landman (hamstring) were listed as limited, as were DL Zach Harrison (Achilles) and CB Kevin King (not injury related-personal matter). DL Ruke Orhorhoro also returned to practice in limited fashion. He's been on injured reserve with an ankle injury for each of the last four games. The Falcons opened his 21-day window to return to active status Wednesday.

Below is a complete look at the Falcons Wednesday injury report. You can view the injury reports of both the Falcons and Vikings here.
