Falcons' Mike Hughes: Dealing with shoulder injury
Hughes (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Playing Sunday vs. Minnesota
Hughes (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Hughes missed the Falcons' last two games due to a neck injury he suffered in Week 10 against the Saints. He was a full participant in practice all week, and he's progressed in his recovery enough to return to action Sunday. Hughes will reclaim his starting outside corner spot from Clark Philips....

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Past neck issue
Hughes (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Hughes missed the Falcons' last two games due to a neck injury sustained in a Week 10 loss to the Saints, but Wednesday's full practice session suggests that he's since recovered. With Hughes back at full health, he's expected to start opposite A.J. Terrell as part of Atlanta's top outside cornerback duo in Week 14, when the Falcons travel to Minnesota.... See More ...

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Still nursing neck issue
Hughes (neck) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. The veteran cornerback was held out of the Falcons' Week 11 loss to the Broncos after sustaining a neck injury the week prior. Hughes has appeared in 10 games this season, recording 46 total tackles and three passes defended. If he's forced to miss his second consecutive game with this neck issue in a Week 13 matchup against the Chargers, expect Clark Phillips to see additional work in Atlanta's secondary.... See More ...

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Won't play Sunday
Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Friday that Hughes (neck) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports. Hughes was unable to practice both Thursday and Friday after sustaining a neck injury in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Saints, so it's no surprise he's been ruled out for Week 11. Expect Kevin King and Clark Phillips to see increased work with Atlanta's first-team defense while Hughes is sidelined Sunday.... See More ... See Less -
Falcons' Mike Hughes: Estimated as limited Wednesday
Hughes (neck) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Hughes left Sunday's game against the Saints due to a neck injury, but an MRI on Monday came back clean, which cleared the 2018 first-round pick to practice this week. Wednesday's session was a walkthrough, so his practice participation over the next two days will provide a clearer idea of his status heading into Sunday's game against the Broncos.... See More ...

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Gets clear MRI
Hughes underwent an MRI on his neck Monday and has been cleared to practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Hughes suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Saints and his clear MRI is good news for the UCF product. It's not clear if he'll be able to play Sunday against the Broncos, but more clarity on that front will likely emerge when the Falcons release their first injury report Wednesday.... See More ...

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Exits Week 10 with neck injury
Hughes hurt his neck in Sunday's game against New Orleans and is questionable to return, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. Hughes was hurt in the first half and has since been deemed questionable to return. He was replaced at cornerback by Clark Phillips. Hughes has been a key member of Atlanta's secondary this season, tallying 45 tackles (38 solo) and three defensed passes over nine contests entering Sunday.... See More ... See Less -
Falcons' Mike Hughes: Eventful day in win
Hughes notched seven solo tackles during Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints. Hughes has recorded at least five tackles in each game thus far, totaling 25 stops.

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Working at outside CB
Hughes is the starting cornerback opposite A.J. Terrell to begin training camp, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. Hughes is working ahead of second-year CB Clark Phillips and veteran Kevin King, but Kendall added the Falcons may be in the market for a free-agent cornerback, noting Xavien Howard, Stephon Gilmore, Adoree' Jackson and J.C. Jackson are all still available. Hughes operated mostly as a slot cornerback while mixing in some return duties last year, his first in Atlanta.... See More ... See Less -
Falcons' Mike Hughes: Carves out role to end 2023
Hughes finished 2023 with 21 tackles (14 solo) and one pass defense in 15 appearances. He also recorded 46 kick-return yards and 67 punt-return yards. Hughes signed a two-deal deal with the Falcons last offseason after a strong campaign with Detroit. He operated primarily as a return man to open 2023, but he slowly relinquished those duties to Dee Alford and started to carve out a defensive role. Hughes is under contract for one more season and figures to garner a similar role in 2024, though Atlanta may look to revamp its cornerback room behind A.J. Terrell this offseason.... See More ...

Falcons' Mike Hughes: Returns to action Sunday
Hughes (hand) is back in the game Sunday after leaving earlier in the first half, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. Hughes should return to his backup right corner role behind Jeff Okudah. The sixth-year pro has three tackles in the game and nine this season.... See More ... See Less -
Falcons' Mike Hughes: Handles return duties again
Hughes returned two kickoffs for 27 yards and three punts for 11 yards during Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Lions. Hughes has handled kick- and punt-return duties in back-to-back weeks after Scotty Miller and Dee Alford shared those responsibilities in the season opener. Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) has yet to suit up this season, but when he's available, he should handle more kick returns than he has in previous years. However, Hughes appears to have solidified himself as the punt returner, a vacancy opened by Avery Williams' season-ending knee injury during training camp.... See More ... See Less -
Falcons' Mike Hughes: Won't play Sunday
Hughes (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Hughes has been dealing with a hip flexor injury since mid-August but did return to practice Monday. With Hughes and running back Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) both out, it's unclear who will return kicks for the Falcons.... See More ... See Less -
Lions' Mike Hughes: Available against Jets
Hughes (illness) is active for Sunday's game at the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports. After coming down with an illness Thursday, Hughes appears set to play in Week 15. He should rotate behind Jeff Okudah and Will Harris on Sunday.... See More ... See Less -
Lions' Mike Hughes: Amasses seven tackles
Hughes recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 34-23 win over the Vikings. Hughes played all but two defensive snaps this past weekend versus Minnesota, and two of his seven stops were made behind or at the line of scrimmage. With fellow cornerback Will Harris (hip) still questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Hughes could once again find himself in a busy role Week 15.... See More ... See Less -
Lions' Mike Hughes: Catches on with Detroit
Hughes signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Lions on Monday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports. Hughes appeared in all 17 games a season ago with Kansas City, finishing with 47 tackles (40 solo), six passes defensed, one interception, one touchdown, four forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He also was utilized on special teams, totaling 25 kick return yards and 68 punt return yards. Hughes will be considered one of the top corners in Detroit, alongside Amani Oruwariye and Jeff Okudah.... See More ... See Less -
Vikings' Mike Hughes: Fifth-year option declined
The Vikings declined Hughes' team option for 2022 on Monday, Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune reports. Hughes has had his career derailed by injuries since the Vikings grabbed him in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, having missed 24 games over the last three seasons. The offseason addition of Patrick Peterson means Hughes isn't guaranteed a consistent role in the secondary during the 2021 campaign, which will now represent a contract year.... See More ...
