Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Questionable for Week 11
Dorlus (oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
The second-year pro from Oregon upgraded from a DNP on Wednesday to limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending toward playing Sunday. However, if Dorlus is sidelined for the first time this season in Week 11, expect LaCale London to have an expanded role on Atlanta's defensive line.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Logs limited practice Thursday
Dorlus (oblique) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.
Dorlus' participation level was an upgrade after he failed to practice Wednesday. It's unclear when he sustained the injury, as the 24-year-old has logged sacks in back-to-back games and showed no sign of injury in Week 10. Dorlus' participation in practice Friday will be worth noting in terms of his availability for Sunday's game versus the Panthers. Should Dorlus not be able to play, Ruke Orhorhoro could see increased playing time as the next man up at defensive tackle.

Dorlus (oblique) did not practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Dorlus has sacks in consecutive games, showing no sign of being slowed by injury. However, he appeared on Wednesday's injury report and his participation will now be worth watching or the rest of the week.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Notches sack in loss
Dorlus logged two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Atlanta's loss to the Colts on Sunday.
Dorlus' hot streak continued despite the loss, as he's now recorded 3.0 sacks across his last two outings. The 2024 fourth-round pick will look to carry this momentum into the team's Week 11 matchup versus the Panthers.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Multiple sacks in loss
Dorlus logged four tackles (three solo), including 2.0 sacks and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
Dorlus' role has varied throughout the season, but he topped 50 percent of defensive snaps in Week 9 for the first time in his last three games. He responded with his highest tackle total of the campaign and at least one sack for the first time since Week 2. Despite the strong showing, Dorlus has limited IDP value.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Makes impact during SNF
Dorlus finished with three tackles (one solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 22-6 win over the Vikings.
Dorlus was a 2024 fourth-round pick but appeared in only two games as a rookie. Zach Harrison and David Onyemata are the Falcons' top defensive linemen, while Dorlus is splitting snaps with Ruke Orhorhoro and LaCale London. In that role, Dorlus has played just under 50 percent of Atlanta's defensive snaps through two games. This could be a sign of things to come for Dorlus, but unless he starts seeing more snaps, it'll be difficult for him to replicate this type of production consistently.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Past abdomen issue
Dorlus (abdomen) has been participating in the Falcons' organized team activities.
Dorlus was inactive for Atlanta's 2024 season finale due to an abdomen injury, but his participation OTAs suggest he's moved past the issue. The second-year pro from Oregon appeared in just two games during his rookie campaign, recording three total tackles over 25 total snaps (19 defensive and six on special teams). Dorlus is likely to compete for a depth role on the Falcons' defensive line as the summer progresses.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Won't play vs. Carolina
Dorlus (abdomen) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Dorlus popped up on Friday's injury report as a DNP due to an abdominal injury, and he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery over the weekend to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. Kentavius Street and Ruke Orhorhoro will serve as Atlanta's rotational defensive ends behind starters Zach Harrison and Grady Jarrett due to Dorlus' injury.

Falcons' Brandon Dorlus: Dealing with abdomen injury
Dorlus (abdomen) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Dorlus was a late addition to Atlanta's injury report, popping up as a non-participant at Friday's practice due to an abdomen issue. However, the rookie defensive tackle from Oregon still has a chance to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. If Dorlus can play through his abdomen injury in Week 18, he'll likely serve as a depth piece on the Falcons' defensive line.
