Falcons CB Billy Bowman to debut in 2026

Falcons cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. is listed as active for Thursday Night Football, marking his return to action after a 2025 season-ending Achilles injury.

The team placed Bowman on the questionable list due to the injury, which ended his 2025 season during Week 12 practice.

Bowman's availability is crucial for the Falcons, as starting corner A.J. Terrell Jr. was placed on injured reserve with a groin injury.

Other inactive Falcons for the game include quarterbacks Cooper Rush and Jack Strand, and defensive backs Malcolm DeWalt IV and Robert Longerbeam.

The Packers also have several inactive players, including wide receiver Jayden Reed and offensive tackle Zach Bako-Bewele, due to various injuries.

Nose tackle Javon Hargrave is active after three limited practices and a questionable designation, despite a knee and concussion injury.
