Atlanta Falcons injury report: Latest on Ray-Ray McCloud, Bijan Robinson, Troy Andersen and more for Week 5

The Atlanta Falcons will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an NFC South matchup to start NFL Week 5 action on Thursday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. In their most recent game, the Bucs made an impressive showing by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 31-16 to take the lead in the NFC South.

The Falcons improved to 2-2 on the season in Week 4 after pulling off a thrilling 26-24 comeback victory over the New Orleans Saints. Quarterback Kirk Cousins delivered another crucial game-winning effort to spearhead that remarkable comeback.

The Falcons' season hasn't been without its challenges, though. Considering the wealth of skill on the roster, it is surprising that their offense has occasionally had trouble getting into a rhythm.

Atlanta Falcons injury report for Week 5

Linebacker Troy Andersen (knee) was the only player who has been ruled out for the Atlanta Falcons in their final injury report released on Wednesday. He sustained a knee injury during Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints, which made him DNP in practice.

Except for Andersen, the team is doing well fitness-wise. Running back Bijan Robinson (hamstring), who was limited in practice on Monday and Tuesday to start the week, resumed full practice on Wednesday.

Also, offensive tackle Kaleb McGary (knee) and WR Ray-Ray McCloud (ankle), who were both limited in Monday and Tuesday's walkthroughs, were full participants on Wednesday and will be available on Thursday night.

The only other player who has an injury designation for the Falcons going into the Week 5 game is rookie running back Jase McClellan (illness). He is listed as questionable to play against the Bucs.

Ray-Ray McCloud's injury status

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud logged two consecutive limited practice participations in the first two walkthroughs the team held this week. However, he was able to log full participation in practice on Friday and is now not carrying any injury designation into the Thursday Night Football game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tonight.

McCloud has 15 receptions for 163 yards off 22 targets with no receiving touchdowns for the Falcons this season. He has also gained 23 yards on two carries.

Bijan Robinson's injury status

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was listed as limited on the team's injury report on Monday and Tuesday, raising some early concerns about his availability for tonight. However, the second-year RB allayed those worries by fully participating in practice on Wednesday.

In Week 5, Robinson will aim to surpass his current season total of 224 running yards on 55 carries and one touchdown. In addition, he has 15 catches for 135 yards on 16 targets.

Troy Anderson's injury status

Atlanta Falcons linebacker Troy Anderson has been ruled out for tonight's game as he's battling a knee injury that saw him inactive in practice throughout the week.

Anderson had a stellar performance in the Falcons' Week 4 matchup with the Saints, recording his first career pick-six in addition to a career-high 16 tackles. He was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts, which significantly contributed to the Falcons' eventual comeback victory.
