Injury & Status History
A running log of this player's status changes — each entry links to the original source.
Za'Darius Smith — Active
Smith missed the Falcons' Week 6 loss to the Bears due to a neck injury. The outside linebacker is set to suit up after a one-game absence. The veteran pass rusher's return will boost the rotational efficiency of the Falcons' defensive line as he goes in when Samson Ebukam or Cameron Thomas need to rest.
Za'Darius Smith — Active
Smith earned the questionable tag for Week 7 after an LP-LP-FP practice log, but it looks like the veteran pass rusher will return from a one-game absence due to a neck injury. His return would give the Falcons a boost at the edge rusher position, especially if Samson Ebukam (hamstring) is not cleared to play.
Za'Darius Smith — Questionable
Smith opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before logging a full session Friday. He's working through a neck injury that forced him to be sidelined for Week 6 against the Bears, and his status for Sunday's contest may not be officially known until the Falcons announce their list of inactive players about 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Smith's return would bolster the Falcons' depth at the edge rusher position behind Samson Ebukam (hamstring) and Cameron Thomas.
Za'Darius Smith — Active
Smith was limited in Friday's practice with a neck injury after clearing concussion protocol Thursday. The outside linebacker seems to have recovered in time for Sunday's contest and is all set to suit up on the edge against the Bears.
Za'Darius Smith — Questionable
Smith cleared concussion protocol Thursday, but his practice reps have been limited by a neck issue. The veteran pass rusher will continue to get treatment over the weekend, but if he's not cleared to play Sunday, then Jared Ivey would be the lone rotational option behind starters Samson Ebukam and Cameron Thomas.
Za'Darius Smith — Questionable
Smith's status on Atlanta's official injury report changed from "concussion/neck" to just "neck" Thursday, signaling he has cleared league concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bears. With that said, his availability for Week 6 is still up in the air due to the neck issue, and he may have to log a full practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Za'Darius Smith — Out
Smith entered the league's concussion protocol during the Falcons' Week 4 win over the Saints on Monday. He drew the questionable tag after practicing in a limited capacity Friday, but it looks like he won't clear protocol before Sunday's game. Samson Ebukam (hamstring) is also listed as questionable, so Jared Ivey, Bralen Trice and Cameron Thomas are all in line for more defensive snaps against Baltimore. Smith's next chance to play is Week 6 against the Bears on Sunday, Oct. 18.
Za'Darius Smith — Out
Smith was a limited participant in Friday's practice as he continues to deal with a concussion he suffered in the Falcons' win over the Saints on Monday. The linebacker still needs to be cleared for full contact by an independent neurologist. If the 34-year-old still has concussion symptoms Saturday, he will not be able to suit up for Sunday's game.
Za'Darius Smith — Questionable
Smith exited the contest in the first quarter after being down on the field for several minutes. An independent neurologist ruled that the outside linebacker had sustained a concussion, and he will not be allowed to return to the game. Smith will now enter the league's five-step protocol, and his status for a Week 5 matchup against the Ravens on Sunday night will remain in question for the time being.
Za'Darius Smith — Questionable
Smith took a knee to the helmet early in the first quarter and was down on the field for several minutes, but the veteran pass rusher was able to jog off the field and into the blue medical tent. Cameron Thomas and Yasir Abdullah should both see more defensive snaps for as long as Smith is on the sidelines being evaluated by medical staff.
