Falcons injury report: Gurley declared ‘out’ for Raiders’ game

Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), running back Todd Gurley (knee) and defensive end Dante Fowler did not practice Friday.

Tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle), who did not practice Wednesday, was back at practice.

Gurley, who suffered a knee injury Sunday in the Saints’ game, was declared out of the game against the Raiders at 1 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Jones, Hurst and Fowler were listed as questionable for the game.

Jones played sparingly against the Saints on Sunday, and Gurley was not used much in the second half. Fowler, who came off the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, did not play in the last game before the bye because of his hamstring injury. He has missed the past two games.

The Falcons returned to practice Friday after holding virtual practice Thursday after two members of the non-football staff tested positive for COVID-19.

Here’s Friday’s official injury report:
