Falcons' Samson Ebukam: Won't play at Green Bay
Ebukam (hamstring) is officially listed as out for Thursday's game against the Packers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Ebukam was not able to practice during the week, and he'll now have to miss at least one game as he recovers from the hamstring injury he suffered during Atlanta's loss versus the Panthers in Week 2. In his absence, Jared Ivey figures to see increased reps on the edge.

Falcons' Samson Ebukam: Signs with Atlanta
The Falcons signed Ebukam on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Ebukam turns 31 years old in May and missed the entire 2024 season due to a torn Achilles. He appeared in 14 regular-season games with the Colts last season, logging 33 tackles (22 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and one fumble recovery on just 43 percent of the defensive snaps. He'll try to help Atlanta's pass rush next season.

Colts' Samson Ebukam: Has down season
Ebukam recorded 33 tackles (22 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and a fumble recovery in 14 regular-season games with Indianapolis in 2025.
After missing the entire 2024 season with a torn Achilles, Ebukam posted mostly disappointing numbers in 2025, including his lowest season sack total since his rookie year back in 2017. He'll turn 31 in May, but it's still possible that being another year removed from the Achilles injury could help his production rebound in 2026. He's in line to become a free agent during the offseason.

Colts' Samson Ebukam: Limited Wednesday
Ebukam (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Ebukam has missed three consecutive games due to a lingering MCL sprain in his knee, but he appears to have taken a step forward in his recovery following Indianapolis' bye. If he's able to upgrade to full practice reps Thursday and/or Friday, Ebukam could avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's road game against the Chiefs.

The 30-year-old is now in line to miss his third consecutive game after sustaining an MCL injury in the Week 7 win over the Chargers. With Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis (groin) both sidelined in Week 10, JT Tuimoloau is expected to operate as the Colts' top reserve defensive end.
