Douglas (foot) returned to practice Thursday, ESPN.com reports.

Douglas has been dealing with a lingering foot injury, but his return to the field Thursday bodes well for his prospects of suiting up Sunday against the Browns. As long as Julio Jones (illness) and Roddy White remain healthy enough to play, Douglas -- who caught four passes for 46 yards this past Sunday -- is only an option in deeper formats.

Douglas (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Douglas' foot concern has lingered throughout the current campaign, but he's been active in three outings in a row after a four-game absence. During the recent run, he's supplied seven catches (on 11 targets) for 88 yards, which isn't exactly a shock behind the likes of Julio Jones (illness) and Roddy White.

Douglas (foot) caught 4-of-4 targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 19-17 win at Carolina.

Douglas has been dealing with a foot issue for most of the year, but he might be getting healthier, after failing to record a catch the previous week at Tampa Bay. He'll look to improve upon Sunday's numbers next week at home against Cleveland.

Douglas will suit up against Carolina despite a lingering foot problem that has been an issue nearly all season. Sitting in the third spot on the wide receiver depth chart doesn't afford him enough looks to be a consistent fantasy option in most formats.

Douglas (foot) is expected to play Sunday against the Panthers, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

Though it looks like Douglas will give it a go Sunday, as long as both Julio Jones and Roddy White remain healthy, he'll be a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

Douglas (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, ESPN's Vaughn McClure reports.

Douglas' foot continues to hamper him, but he was able to practice some on Thursday and Friday, so his chances of suiting up against Carolina seem strong. However, with Julio Jones and Roddy White gobbling up most of the targets, Douglas has not received many opportunities (seven targets over the last two games).

Douglas (foot) was limited in Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

Douglas is making his first appearance of the week in drills, intimating that Wednesday's absence was merely precautionary. The foot injury that spurred a four-game stretch of DNPs will seeming stay with him for the foreseeable future, as evidenced by just three catches (on seven targets) for 42 yards in the two outings since his return. As the weekend approaches. though, expect his availability for Sunday's contest at Carolina to receive clarification.

Douglas (foot) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Douglas was held without a catch in Week 10 at Tampa Bay, and Matt Ryan directed just two passes his way among 31 snaps. Such a development wasn't a surprise with both Julio Jones and Roddy White in the picture, which places Douglas third, at best, in the Falcons' receiving pecking order on any given Sunday. While a friendly matchup awaits this weekend against the Panthers, who have allowed 13.0 YPC to wideouts, he'll have to achieve active status in order to take advantage.

Douglas was a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited earlier in the week, and as expected, will suit up for the Sunday afternoon contest. The veteran hauled in just three catches on five targets in his return from injury Week 8 against the Lions, but has a much more favorable matchup against Tampa Bay this week. The Buccaneers have the second worst passing defense in the league in terms of yards allowed per game (285.2), and are without top cover corner Alterraun Verner (hamstring). The opportunity is there for a big game, but Douglas will likely be behind both Julio Jones and Roddy White in the pecking order for targets in the passing game.

Douglas (foot) fully participated in Friday's practice but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, AtlantaFalcons.com reports.

Despite the questionable tag, Douglas seems very likely to play, especially after logging a full practice Friday. Although he didn't post huge numbers in his return from injury in Week 8, he looked good, racking up 42 yards on three catches. He should get some opportunities to make some noise Sunday against the Bucs' putrid pass defense.

Douglas (foot) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

In the Falcons' last game in Week 8, Douglas made his first appearance since Week 3, when he sustained a foot injury. His output through four outings has been underwhelming -- 15 catches (on 22 targets) for 163 yards and one touchdown -- but the presence of Julio Jones and Roddy White in the receiving corps will continue to stifle Douglas' showings.

Douglas (foot) had three catches for 42 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

Playing in his first game since Week 3, Douglas looked good, demonstrating great hands and concentration on one of his grabs. He's still third fiddle behind Julio Jones and Roddy White, but with the right matchup (like Week 10 at Tampa Bay?), he can have value in deeper leagues.

Douglas has not played since suffering the injury in Week 3 against the Buccaneers, a game in which he scored his first touchdown of the season before being forced out. However, he was able to practice on a limited basis Thursday and Friday, which was enough to get him healthy to return as the No. 3 receiver behind Julio Jones and Roddy White.

Douglas (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Douglas was able to practice on a limited basis Thursday and Friday, so he will have a chance to play this week for the first time since Week 3. With both Julio Jones and Roddy White healthy, Douglas would likely work as the third receiver if he suits up Sunday. Those considering using him this week should be aware that a final call on his status could come very early Sunday thanks to the Falcons' 9:30 AM (ET) start time.

Douglas (foot) is slated to practice in a limited fashion Thursday, the Falcons' official site reports.

After being a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Douglas will return to the field Thursday in a limited capacity, though at this stage, the wideout's status for Sunday's game against Detroit remains to be determined.

Douglas (foot) did not practice Wednesday, the Falcons' official site reports.

The Falcons will continue to monitor Douglas -- who last played in Week 3 -- throughout the week, but at this stage, the wideout's status for Sunday's game against Detroit is cloudy.

Douglas (foot) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Baltimore, ESPN's Vaughn McClure reports.

A deep bruise in Douglas' foot will force him to miss a fourth straight game. Devin Hester will continue to operate as Atlanta's third receiver, while Douglas will set his sights on trying to return in Week 8 against the Lions. If that doesn't happen, the Falcons are on bye in Week 9, so the earliest Douglas could return is Nov. 9 against Tampa Bay.

Douglas (foot) is not slated to practice Thursday, ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure reports.

Douglas, who is dealing with a deep bruise in his left foot, according to ESPN.com, thus remains very iffy in advance of Sunday's game against the Ravens, with Devin Hester (hamstring) likely to continue to serve as the Falcons' No. 3 wideout this weekend as a result.

Douglas (foot) is not practicing Wednessday, ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure reports.

Douglas, who last suited up in Week 3, thus appears iffy for Sunday's game against the Ravens. If he remains sidelined, Devin Hester would once again be in line to serve as the Falcons' No. 3 wideout this weekend.

Coach Mike Smith said Friday that Douglas (foot) is out for Sunday's game against Chicago, ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure reports.

Douglas was unable to practice all week and will miss his third straight game. Devin Hester (assuming he is able to play through his hamstring injury) will likely fill Douglas' role as the No. 3 receiver once again.
