  • Heading to Buffalo

    The Bills signed Powell to a contract Friday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    Analysis: Powell contributed in both the return and offensive game for the Falcons during the 2020 campaign, with 8.9 yards per punt return and two receiving touchdowns. The versatile player's speed at receiver and in the return game will perhaps provide the Bills with a notable boost this year.

  • Won't face Bucs in finale

    Powell (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against Tampa Bay, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Powell never seemed especially likely to go Week 17, as the return man was unable to submit even a limited practice session heading into Sunday's finale. He'll close out the year with 8.9 yards per punt return, good for eighth-best in the NFL. The 25-year-old also saw his offensive role increase as the campaign progressed, contributing seven of his 12 receptions over his final five appearances of 2020.

  • Still not practicing

    Powell (foot) did not practice Thursday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Powell played through his foot issue during last weekend's loss to the Chiefs, but he's now missed back-to-back practices. The Falcons would need to delegate another option in the return game if Powell can't suit up Week 17 versus the Buccaneers.

  • Sits out Wednesday's practice

    Powell (foot) did not participate during Wednesday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Powell was confronted with a foot issue going into the Falcons' Week 16 matchup against the Chiefs. He found a way to suit up, however, fielding 13 offensive snaps while recording a two-yard catch during last Sunday's loss. Powell coughed up a fumble on his lone catch, turning possession over to Kansas City at the 10:50 mark of the fourth quarter. The 25-year-old remains without a missed game on the season, and he will try to power through his foot issue once more as Atlanta travels to take on…read more

  • Active for Week 16

    Powell (foot) is active for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Julio Jones (hamstring) out of the lineup, Powell should handle a decent workload Sunday. In the last two games without Jones, Powell played at least 43 percent of the snaps on offense. However, he didn't capitalize on the extra opportunities in that stretch, catching just three passes for 14 yards.

  • Questionable for Week 16

    Powell (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Powell popped up on the injury report Thursday with an unspecified foot injury, and he remained a limited participant in Friday's practice. With Julio Jones (hamstring) sidelined, Powell's potential absence would presumably allow Christian Blake to handle a large role behind Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage.

  • Limited in practice Thursday

    Powell (foot) was limited during Thursday's practice session, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Powell practiced in full Wednesday, so he may have picked up the foot injury during practice that day. Though the second-year wideout has made minimal contributions on offense this season (11 catches on 16 targets for 67 yards), his absence would be felt on special teams, as he serves as Atlanta's primary kickoff and punt returner.

  • Tears off long return

    Powell corralled his only target for a nine-yard gain, adding one kick-return attempt for 22 yards and three punt returns for 40 yards during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Powell's 20-yard punt return at the 9:07 mark of the fourth quarter situated Atlanta near midfield with a chance to take the lead, however, Matt Ryan committed the first of a pair of late-game interceptions 11 plays later. The Florida product will likely continue to carry a peripheral offensive role for weeks when the receiving corps is depleted by injury. Most of his value, however, resides on special teams where he's averaging a respectable 9.3 yards per attempt on punt returns this season.

  • Snags second TD of 2020

    Powell reeled in both of his targets for four receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 43-6 win against the Raiders. He also logged a 16-yard kickoff return and a four-yard punt return.

    Analysis: Opportunities opened up for Atlanta's secondary wide receivers Week 12, as Julio Jones (hamstring) was ruled out before kickoff and Olamide Zaccheaus (toe) had to exit partway through the contest due to injury. Powell capitalized, collecting his second TD reception over his past three appearances. He's made an impact on special teams as well, with the 25-year-old's 8.7 yards per punt return average ranking 12th in the NFL among players with at least 10 attempts.

  • Little offensive impact

    Powell rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Even with Julio Jones missing a big chunk of the game with a hamstring injury, Powell handled just six snaps on offense. His main contributions continue to come on special teams, where he's the Falcons' primary option to return kicks and punts.

  • Secures first NFL TD

    Powell corralled his lone target for a nine-yard touchdown, adding a four-yard rush during Sunday's 34-27 win against the Broncos. He also registered a 13-yard punt return.

    Analysis: Powell was able to maneuver by Justin Simmons for the second-quarter score, out-positioning the talented free safety on a nine-yard out route to secure his first TD in the NFL. With Calvin Ridley (foot) sitting out Week 9, Powell garnered his third-highest offensive workload of the season (10 snaps). Ridley and the Falcons' receiving corps will have a chance to recover from injury over the Week 10 bye, potentially lessening Powell's offensive role when the team returns Nov. 22 against New…read more

  • All clear Thursday

    Powell (elbow) was absent from Thursday's injury report, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Powell popped up on the injury report Wednesday, as the elbow issue limited him in practice. Now healthy, expect the Florida product to assume his usual duties as the team's return man, while mixing in with depth receiving snaps. In six games this season, the 25-year-old has supplied three catches for 27 yards, 208 kick return yards and 79 punt return yards.

  • Listed on injury report

    Powell was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an elbow injury, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old has recorded three receptions for 27 yards on the season, with all of his catches coming in Week 3 while Julio Jones sat out with a hamstring injury. Instead, most of Powell's usage has come on special teams, where he ranks third in the NFL with an average of 9.9 yards per punt return. Powell wasn't known to be dealing with an injury ahead of Atlanta's Week 6 win over Minnesota, but his status will now be one to monitor heading into a matchup this weekend versus the Lions.

  • Contributes as pass catcher

    Powell hauled in three of his four targets for a total of 27 receiving yards during Sunday's 30-26 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: With Julio Jones (hamstring) ruled out pregame and Russell Gage forced to exit early Sunday because of a head injury, Atlanta was left thin at receiver. Against the Bears, Powell saw offensive snaps in a game for just the second time since 2018, after he spent 2019 bouncing between the Falcons' practice squad and active roster without ever fielding a regular-season snap. If Jones and Gage are unable to play Week 4 against the Packers, Powell would be in line for wide receiver snaps behind…read more

  • Gets his shot as returner

    Powell is expected to be Atlanta's primary returner for Week 1, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old Powell will prepare to make his first regular-season appearance in over 20 months after riding out 2019 as a member of the Falcons' practice squad. When last active on special teams with Detroit in 2018, Powell picked up eight yards on two punt return attempts as well as 43 kick return yards on two additional returns (across six total games played). Powell beat out undrafted rookie Chris Rowland for this opportunity after the Falcons parted ways with 2019 return specialist…read more

  • Back at it again

    Powell returned to practice Monday after missing time last week with an undisclosed injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Dan Quinn said that Powell is back at "full speed," which is great news considering his anticipated role for Atlanta this season. The former Florida Gator continues to be a front-runner to serve as the Falcons' primary returner this season, but he will have to hold off undrafted rookie Chris Rowland to secure the role. He last played an NFL game Week 17 of 2018 as a member of the Lions, providing six catches for 103 yards during a rout of the Packers in a showdown of six-win teams. More…read more

  • Out for Thursday's practice

    Powell (undisclosed) was a non-participant during Thursday's practice session, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The former Lion is in competition with rookie Chris Rowland for the role of Falcons return man, but his bid for that spot has been paused by a minor injury suffered during Wednesday's practice. Coach Dan Quinn described the issue as being nothing of great concern, so the hope is that Powell can return to the field in short order and resume his push for a roster spot. Though Atlanta remains deep at his offensive position of wide receiver, Powell is very much in the mix to reserve a roster slot…read more

  • Could stick as return specialist

    Coach Dan Quinn said Powell is the current favorite to operate as Atlanta's return specialist in 2020, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Powell played six games for the Lions in 2018 but wasn't able to make their 53-man roster last summer. He then caught on with the Falcons, spending time on the practice squad and active roster without ever playing in a game. Powell won't be assured of anything in 2020, facing competition for both return work and a depth spot at wide receiver. However, a strong summer could put him in position to challenge Russell Gage for slot work in three-wide formations.

  • Ruled out Week 17

    Powell (wrist) was officially ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Powell popped up on the injury report Thursday and was downgraded to no practice time Friday. Powell finishes the season having failed to see the field for the Falcons in any contest during the year.

  • Surfaces on injury report

    Powell (wrist) put in a limited practice Thursday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Powell appears to have picked up the injury in practice Wednesday, as he didn't appear on the report until the next day. He has yet to appear in a game for the Falcons since joining the club.

  • On shelf Sunday

    Powell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Powell was elevated from the practice squad Tuesday, but he won't make his season debut yet. The 24-year-old is currently listed as the team's No. 7 wideout, so his offensive impact will be negligible if he's active at any point.

  • Promoted from practice squad

    Powell was promoted to the Falcons' 53-man roster from the practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: Powell spent training camp and the preseason with Detroit but didn't make the season opening roster, and he joined Atlanta's practice squad shortly thereafter. The 24-year-old is unlikely to find much involvement offensively with the rest of the Falcons' wide receivers currently healthy.
