Judon (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

Falcons' Matthew Judon: Dealing with hamstring issue
Judon (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Judon appears to have aggravated his hamstring issue during the Falcons' Week 5 win over the Buccaneers. However, the veteran edge rusher was still able to record two total tackles and one pass defended across 31 defensive snaps. Judon is expected to play in Sunday's matchup against the Panthers unless he downgrades to no participation either Thursday or Friday.

Falcons' Matthew Judon: Cleared to play Week 4
Judon (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints and is expected to play.
Judon was limited in practice early in the week but is good to go for a big divisional tilt. The 32-year-old has logged 15 tackles (eight solo), including 1.5 sacks, and three QB hits in his first three games with the Falcons following his summer acquisition from New England.

Falcons' Matthew Judon: Added to injury report
Judon (hamstring) was a limited participant during practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
Judon was a full participant Wednesday, so he may have suffered the injury during practice. Although the late addition to the injury report isn't the best news, he'll have a chance to ramp up his activity Friday and still has a couple of days to heal up ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup with the Saints.

Falcons' Matthew Judon: Records sack in win
Judon finished with six tackles (three solo), including a sack, during Monday's 22-21 win over the Eagles.
After recording 0.5 sacks in the season opener, Judon got his first solo sack in Week 2. The veteran was the only Falcon who got to Jalen Hurts in the backfield during Monday Night Football, which is precisely why Atlanta traded for Judon this offseason. In 2021 and 2022, Judon totaled 28 sacks for the Patriots, and he's currently on pace to reach double-digit sacks for the third time in his career.

Falcons' Matthew Judon: Makes minor splash in debut
Judon registered five tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.
Making his Falcons debut, Judon played 46 of Atlanta's 68 defensive snaps. He was quiet for most of the game, but on third-and-13 in the fourth quarter, Judon combined with Grady Jarrett to sack Justin Fields for an eight-yard loss. The Falcons' pass rush has been a major concern for years, and Judon is expected to remedy that. However, he's still learning a new system, so he may not see enough pass-rushing snaps to generate strong IDP value for a few weeks.

Falcons' Matthew Judon: Gets moved to Atlanta
The Falcons acquired Judon from the Patriots on Wednesday in exchange for a 2025 third-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
In the final season of his four-year, $54.5 million contract, Judon was seeking a new deal in the offseason, and the situation lingered into training camp. Now that he's moving to Atlanta, there's a good chance the soon-to-be 32-year-old gets an extension of some type while also serving as the top pass rusher for his new squad. In three seasons in New England, Judon racked up 133 tackles and 32 sacks in 38 regular-season games.
