Matthew Judon

Matthew Judon (hamstring) fully participated in Atlanta's practice on Friday and will play on Sunday.

There was some concern earlier in the week that Judon would miss Sunday's game because of a hamstring injury, but he has been removed from the injury report and will play in Week 4. That's a big boost for Atlanta's defense in a tough divisional matchup against the Saints.

The Atlanta Falcons are acquiring edge rusher Matthew Judon from the New England Patriots in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick.

Given the fact Judon was already one foot out the door, the return package for New England is pretty solid. With Christian Barmore (blood clots) potentially missing the 2024 season, the Patriots need help on the DL, but their edge rotation is fairly deep at the moment. Judon had been in and out of practice all offseason and finds a new home that will absorb his contract and likely offer him a reworked deal or an extension.

Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said he had a “healthy” conversation with Matthew Judon and he fully expects him to be participating at practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Judon has been at practice, but hasn't been participating as he seeks a contract extension. It appears the two sides could be close to an agreement based on the comments made by Mayo.

The New England Patriots reportedly made a revised contract offer to Matthew Judon prior to training camp.

It doesn't appear either side has made progress despite the revised contract offer. Judon continues to holdout on the sideline early in training camp with the Patriots in a situation that remains one to monitor.

Matthew Judon was at Patriots practice, but not in pads on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Judon was in sweats and sneakers. He reported to training camp, but remains on the sidelines as he looks for a new contract.
