David Sills V Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Falcons vs Saints game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 11, 2025
Held catchless against Colts
Sills failed to secure his lone target in Sunday's 31-25 loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Sills played 31 of the Falcons' 63 offensive snaps Sunday, continuing to operate as Atlanta's No. 3 wide receiver behind Drake London (62) and Darnell Mooney (57). The 30-year-old wideout was held without a catch for the second straight game and for the seventh time this season. Sills has only seen seven targets across nine contests, and his limited opportunities keep him far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Panthers.
Nov 3, 2025
Clear No. 3 wideout
Sills failed to catch his only target during Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Once again, Sills operated as the Falcons' No. 3 wideout, playing 37 more offensive snaps than KhaDarel Hodge and Dylan Drummond. However, despite playing at least 30 offensive snaps in four straight games following Atlanta's Week 5 bye, Sills has totaled only two catches on four targets for 14 yards during that stretch.
Oct 29, 2025
Targeted three times in loss
Sills caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Sills played 90 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps Sunday, nearly doubling his next highest snap share this season. The 30-year-old wideout saw an increase in playing time against Miami due to No. 1 wide receiver Drake London missing the contest with a hip injury. Despite the increase in playing time, Sills and the entire Falcons offense couldn't get much going against the Dolphins defense. Sills should not be trusted for fantasy purposes, especially if London is able to make his return for a Week 9 matchup against the Patriots.
Oct 21, 2025
Getting cardio but not targets
Sills didn't record a target across 28 offensive snaps during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Despite playing 74 offensive snaps over the past three games, Sills hasn't garnered a single target. The only time he's made a dent in the box score came during Week 3, when he caught one of two targets for nine yards across 25 offensive snaps against the Panthers.
Sep 22, 2025
Catches first pass since 2022
Sills caught one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
After playing only five offensive snaps through Atlanta's first two games, Sills saw extended action during Sunday's blowout and caught his first pass since 2022, when he was with the Giants. As long as Jamal Agnew (groin) and Casey Washington (concussion) are sidelined, Sills will be the No. 5 wideout behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge.
Sep 13, 2025
Joins active roster
Sills signed with the Falcons' active roster Saturday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for the Falcons' Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers, playing two offensive snaps and failing to record a stat. Now that he's signed to the active roster, the 29-year-old is expected to play a depth role in Atlanta's wide receiver corps in the Week 2 matchup against the Vikings. In a corresponding move, Jordan Fuller (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Sep 8, 2025
Reverts to practice squad
Sills reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Sills was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers, failing to record any stats while playing two offensive snaps. With Darnell Mooney (shoulder) banged up and both Drake London (shoulder) and Jamal Agnew (groin) suffering injuries in the opener, it's possible that Sills is elevated again in Week 2 versus the Vikings.
Sep 8, 2025
Sees two snaps in opener
Sills played two offensive snaps during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Sills initially made the Falcons' first 53-man roster but was cut a week later. Atlanta then re-signed him to the practice squad and elevated him for the regular-season opener due to Darnell Mooney (shoulder) being inactive. However, Sills was still a non-factor offensively. Drake London (shoulder) and Jamal Agnew (groin) suffered injuries during the opener, so Sills could be elevated again in Week 2 if Atlanta's wideout room isn't at full strength.
Sep 6, 2025
Back with Falcons
Sills was signed to the Falcons' practice squad Saturday, then elevated for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Atlanta released Sills on Friday but then re-signed him to the practice squad a day later. With Darnell Mooney (shoulder) questionable, Sills should provide insurance to the team's wide receiver corps.
Sep 5, 2025
Cut by Atlanta
The Falcons released Sills on Friday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills' ouster could mean Darnell Mooney (shoulder) will be ready for Sunday's opener against the Bucs. Sills hasn't registered a regular-season catch since 2022 with the Giants.
Aug 27, 2025
Finds spot on initial 53-man roster
Sills made the Falcons' initial 53-man roster Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The wideout room was competitive during training camp, and despite strong showings, the Falcons cut Chris Blair, Dylan Drummond and Nick Nash. That leaves Sills and Casey Washington as the final two WRs behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney (shoulder), Ray-Ray McCloud, KhaDarel Hodge and Jamal Agnew (oblique). With Mooney and Agnew banged up, it's possible Sills will see a few offensive snaps in Week 1. He hasn't caught a pass in the NFL since 2022, when he set career highs (11 catches on 17 targets for 106 yards) with the Giants.
Aug 12, 2025
Catches pass in preseason opener
Sills caught one of two targets for 15 yards during Friday's 17-10 preseason loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted wideout out of West Virginia hasn't played a regular-season game in the NFL since 2023. There's a lot of competition for the final wideout spots behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud and KhaDarel Hodge. Given Jamal Agnew's return abilities, he'll likely take the fifth spot, leaving Sills to compete with Casey Washington, DJ Chark, Dylan Drummond and Chris Blair for potentially only one spot.
Jan 21, 2025
Headed to Atlanta
The Falcons signed Sills to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills spent the entire 2024 season on the Broncos' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August, but he didn't play in the regular season despite being elevated for Week 17 against the Bengals. Sills last saw NFL regular-season action in 2023 with the Giants, during which he played 16 snaps across three games but did not show up in the box score otherwise. The 28-year-old wideout out of West Virginia will take his talents to Atlanta, where he will have a chance to make the Falcons' 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.
Dec 30, 2024
Reverts to practice squad
Sills reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday.
ANALYSIS
Sills was activated ahead of Saturday's overtime loss versus the Bengals but ended up being inactive. He has yet to appear in a game this season and will wait for his next opportunity to be elevated.
Dec 27, 2024
Elevated for Week 17
The Broncos elevated Sills from the practice squad ahead of Saturday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Sills has been on Denver's practice squad all season, but he's yet to appear in a game in 2024. He slides in as the Broncos' sixth receiver behind Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.
Aug 29, 2024
Receives another opportunity
Sills signed with the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills was brought back to Denver after spending time with the team last season, but couldn't make the initial 53-man roster. He'll now have a chance to work his way back there from the practice squad.
Aug 27, 2024
Let go by Broncos
Sills was released by the Broncos on Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills spent the 2023 campaign with Denver, failing to garner a target while appearing in three games with the team. The wide receiver compiled 53 receiving yards on four catches during the preseason and he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere.
Jan 8, 2024
Hanging around Denver
Sills signed a reserve/future contract with the Broncos on Monday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills appeared in three games with the Broncos in 2023, failing to garner a target over 16 offensive snaps, spending the rest of the season with the team's practice squad. He'll now have a shot to attempt to crack Denver's active roster ahead of the 2024 campaign.
Nov 27, 2023
Goes back to practice squad
The Broncos reverted Sills to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Sills garnered his third straight practice-squad elevation ahead of Week 12's win over Cleveland, and he played on five offensive snaps without logging any stats. If Denver wants to deploy Sills for another game, the team would first need to sign him to the active roster.
Nov 25, 2023
Promoted to active roster
The Broncos elevated Sills from the practice squad Saturday.
ANALYSIS
This is the third time Sills has been elevated to the active roster, which means the Broncos will have to sign him to the 53-man roster after Sunday's game against the Browns if the team wants him to continue playing. Sills has played 11 snaps over his two appearances without recording a single stat.
Nov 20, 2023
Reverts to practice squad
Sills reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
The wide receiver played on seven offensive snaps but was not targeted during Denver's win over Minnesota on Sunday night. Sills was elevated from the practice squad before the team's Week 10 game against the Bills.
Nov 18, 2023
Added to active roster
The Broncos elevated Sills to their active roster Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills joins Denver's active roster for the second consecutive game after making his 2023 debut during the team's Week 10 win over the Bills. In his one appearance this season, the 27-year-old wideout played four total snaps (all on offense) and failed to record a stat.
Nov 13, 2023
Bumped up for Week 10
Sills was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills joined Denver's practice squad in September after a multi-year stay with the Giants. The 27-year-old will be making his first appearance with the Broncos, although his time on the field will likely be limited as the team's expected to be No. 5 option at receiver.
Sep 1, 2023
Headed to Denver
The Broncos signed Sills to their practice squad Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills spent the past four seasons with the Giants but will now head to Denver to join their practice squad. The 27-year-old appeared in 13 games across the past two seasons, catching 13 of 23 targets for 123 yards and could now provide solid depth for the Broncos as they are currently banged up at the position.
Aug 29, 2023
Gets let go
Sills was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills has spent the last two seasons with the team, but his team with the squad has come to an end unless he secures a spot on the practice squad. The West Virginia product had 11 receptions on 17 targets for 106 yards in 9 games last season.
Aug 27, 2023
Top receiver in preseason finale
Sills caught six of nine targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's exhibition loss to the Jets.
ANALYSIS
The Giants sat out most of their starters in the contest, giving Sills ample opportunity to make a final case for a roster spot. He performed well, leading the team in targets, catches and yards while hauling in the only receiving TD on a 30-yard heave from Tommy DeVito with less than a minute left in the game. Despite the standout performance, Sills remains a long shot for a spot on the initial 53-man roster given the Giants' crowded receiver room.
Jun 12, 2023
Healthy again
Sills was dealing with a back or rib injury but appears to be healthy again, John Schmeelk of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills returned to action after getting injured during a practice session in late May. The 27-year-old registered 11 catches for 106 yards in nine games last season, but could find his roster spot in jeopardy as New York's receiving room has become a lot more crowded throughout the offseason.
May 25, 2023
Takes hard hit
Sills left practice early Thursday after suffering what appeared to be a back or rib injury, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills sustained the injury while landing hard on the ground on an attempted catch. However, he was able to walk off the field on his own. The soon-to-be 27-year-old appeared in nine games for the Giants last season, making 11 catches on 17 targets for 106 yards. He's expected to be fighting for a depth role in the Giants' receiving corps, which added Parris Campbell, Jeff Smith and Jamison Crowder in free agency, while also adding Jalin Hyatt in the third round of the 2023 Draft.
Jan 26, 2023
Inks new deal with Big Blue
Sills signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Sills opened the 2022 season as a member of the Giants' starting wide-receiver corps, playing at least 63 percent of offensive snaps in all but one of the first four games. However, the 26-year-old logged more than two receptions just once, and he saw a significant drop in playing time before being ruled a healthy scratch six times between Weeks 10 to 16. Sills was then waived Dec. 31 and finished the season on the practice squad. He'll now work to earn his way back onto the Giants' 53-man roster ahead of the 2023 campaign.
Jan 3, 2023
Returns to New York
Sills signed with the Giants' practice squad Tuesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills was waived by the Giants on Saturday, but he'll now return to the team's practice squad. He's appeared in 9 games for the Giants this season, making 11 catches on 17 targets for 106 yards. Although, most of that work took place early in the season, as the 26-year-old was a healthy scratch for six of the team's last seven contests.
Dec 31, 2022
Let loose by New York
The Giants waived Sills on Saturday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills played a significant role for New York early in the season, logging between 43 and 91 percent of the team's offensive snaps during each contest between Week 1 and Week 5. However, his opportunities have tailed off since then, and he was a healthy scratch six times over the past seven weeks. Sills has been with the Giants organization since 2019 but may now seek work elsewhere.
Dec 11, 2022
Back on inactive list
Sills (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
After he was a healthy inactive from three consecutive games, Sills dressed for the Giants' 20-20 with the Commanders a week ago, but he played just one snap during that contest. He now finds himself back in street clothes Sunday while the Giants keep five other wideouts (Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Richie James, Kenny Golladay and Marcus Johnson) active ahead of him.
Nov 20, 2022
Inactive again
Sills (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Sills is a healthy scratch for a second straight week after appearing in each of the team's first eight contests, totaling 11 receptions on 17 targets for 106 yards. The Giants' wideout room was banged up to start the season, but they got Kenny Golladay back in Week 10, leaving Sills buried on the depth chart.
Nov 13, 2022
Inactive for Week 10
Sills (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Houston.
ANALYSIS
Sills has appeared in every game for the Giants this season, totaling 11 receptions on 17 targets for 106 yards. However, Sills will take a seat on the bench with Kenny Golladay back in the mix following a lengthy absence due to a knee injury.
Oct 31, 2022
Unproductive again in Week 8
Sills caught one of two targets for five yards Sunday in a loss to Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Sills' lone catch in the contest came early in the third quarter during a drive that ended with a Graham Gano field goal. Since playing 91 percent of New York's offensive snaps and finishing with three catches in Week 2 against Carolina, Sills has seen his snap count and production trend progressively downward. With only 11 catches for 106 yards and no touchdowns through eight games this season, he's not currently on the fantasy radar.
Oct 10, 2022
Quiet in Week 5 win
Sills caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-22 victory versus the Packers in London.
ANALYSIS
Sills looked like he could see ample opportunities leading into the weekend as one of three healthy wideouts for New York. Instead, Darius Slayton -- who entered Week 5 with only one catch on two targets -- emerged as the team's top receiver, hauling in six of seven targets for 79 yards. In addition, Marcus Johnson -- who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday -- logged more catches (three) and tallied more yards (35) than did Sills. The surprising final stat lines emphasize the unsettled hierarchy of a New York wide-receiver room that is best avoided in fantasy.
Oct 8, 2022
Opportunity abounds
Sills is likely to see plenty of snaps in Sunday's game against Green Bay with all of Kenny Golladay (knee), Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) and Kadarius Toney (hamstring) ruled out for the clash in London.
ANALYSIS
The Giants received good news Friday when Daniel Jones was able to log a full practice after hurting his ankle in Week 4. While the quarterback appears in line to start in London on Sunday, he'll be without many of his usual pass catchers as injuries have already decimated New York's wideout corps. Sills and Richie James -- two of the last men standing -- should see plenty of reps, and Darius Slayton could get extra run as well. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that any New York wideouts are worth pursuing in fantasy -- the Giants rank second-to-last in passing yards per game through four weeks, and running back Saquon Barkley has played a significant role in the team's air attack, tying for the team lead with 15 receptions.
Sep 30, 2022
Could see expanded opportunity
Sills could be one of four healthy receivers currently on the active roster available for Sunday's game against Chicago, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills hasn't been wildly productive this season -- he's nabbed just five catches on eight targets for 57 yards through three games -- but he's been on the field for the majority of the team's offensive snaps and looks to have moved further up the depth chart by default after top wideout Sterling Shepard was lost for the season as a result of tearing his ACL last Sunday. New York's receiver room has been a mess again this season, as Kenny Golladay has played sporadically and caught just two passes so far while Kadarius Toney (hamstring) has been essentially invisible and is questionable to play in Week 4. That has given Sills and Richie James the opportunity to make a push for more playing time, though the eventual return of rookie Wan'Dale Robinson -- who suffered a knee injury in the second quarter of the season opener and hasn't played since -- could shake up the pecking order.
Sep 18, 2022
Sees role increased
Sills caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Sills enjoyed the best game of his brief career while teammate Kenny Golladay barely saw the field. In fact, Sills trailed only Richie James for the Giants' lead in receiving yards. With Golladay and Kadarius Toney hardly contributing to begin the campaign, Sills' stock is trending in the right direction ahead of Week 3's clash with the Cowboys.
Aug 22, 2022
Tallies 56 yards in preseason debut
Sills corralled five of seven targets for 56 yards in Sunday's preseason victory versus the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Sills didn't play in New York's first exhibition game last Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, but he was back in action for the team's second contest Sunday. The 26-year-old ranked second on the squad in receiving yards and third in receptions in the win. Sills is considered a long shot for a spot on the 53-man roster, so he'll be looking to make another strong impression in the Giants' third and final preseason game against the Jets next weekend.
Aug 11, 2022
Unlikely to play Thursday
Sills is dealing with an undisclosed injury and probably won't play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Patriots, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills was an early standout in camp, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, but he's now dealing with an injury that is expected to keep him out of the preseason opener. The West Virginia product would presumably need to show up big in preseason contests to have a chance at making the 53-man roster, so his inability to play Thursday could be particularly detrimental to his outlook with the team.
Mar 13, 2022
Re-signed by Giants
The Giants re-signed Sills on Friday, John Fennelly of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills, who was an impending exclusive rights free agent, made four appearances for the Giants last season. He play 95 total offensive snaps and caught two of six targets for 17 yards.
Jan 8, 2022
Lands on active roster
Sills was signed by the Giants on Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official sitereports.
ANALYSIS
Sills has spent the majority of the season on the Giants' practice squad, though he has appeared in three games while racking up two receptions for 17 yards. With Kadarius Toney (shoulder), John Ross (knee), and Sterling Shepard (Achilles) all out, Sills figures to serve a depth role among the team's receiving corps Sunday.
Jan 3, 2022
Catches lone target in loss
Sills caught his only target for a 12-yard gain in Sunday's 29-3 loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Sills led all Giants pass-catchers not named Kenny Golladay in playing time Sunday but wasn't able to garner much attention. Despite seeing 40 snaps (71 percent), the West Virginia product didn't get a pass thrown his way until the fourth quarter. The 12-yard pickup was the second-longest of the day for the Giants, which just goes to show the state of their offense right now.
Jan 1, 2022
Joins active roster for Sunday
Sills was elevated to the Giants' active roster from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills had one catch for five yards while playing 15 offensive snaps last week against the Eagles, and he'll be on the 53-man roster again Sunday. He could be more involved versus Chicago since Kenny Golladay is the only regular member of New York's receiving corps that is available for Week 17.
Dec 28, 2021
Back to practice squad
Sills reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.
ANALYSIS
Sills played 15 of the team's 76 offensive snaps and caught his only target for five yards. He also played seven special-team snaps. If the Giants' wideout corps remains depleted, Sills may get another elevation in Week 17.
Dec 25, 2021
Joins active roster
The Giants elevated Sills from the practice squad Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills previously was on the active roster for one game this season, a Week 7 matchup with the Panthers in which he couldn't gather in his only target. His next catch actually will double as the first of his career if he gets on the field, which could happen in a receiving corps that could be without all of Kadarius Toney (oblique), Sterling Shepard (Achilles/IR), John Ross (COVID-19), Collin Johnson (hamstring), C.J. Board (arm/IR) and Dante Pettis (shoulder/IR).
Oct 28, 2021
Back in New York
Sills signed with the Giants' practice squad Thursday, Dan Benton of Giants Wire reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills was waived by the Giants on Tuesday but has now returned to the team in a lesser capacity. He was active in Week 7 prior to being cut, though he wasn't able to convert his only target into a reception.
Oct 26, 2021
Waived by Big Blue
The Giants waived Sills on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills began the 2021 campaign on the Giants' practice squad, but he was signed to the active roster ahead of Sunday's contest with the Panthers. New York was without its top three wideouts (Kenny Golladay (knee), Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle), so the 25-year-old wideout played 25 offense snaps and dropped his only target.
Oct 23, 2021
Signed to active roster
The Giants signed Sills to their active roster Saturday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills began the 2021 campaign on the practice squad and will now take on a depth role at wide receiver. The 25-year-old hasn't yet appeared in a professional game.
Aug 31, 2021
Waived by Giants
New York waived Sills on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills put together a solid preseason with the Giants, so he could draw some interest on waivers. Since going undrafted out of West Virginia back in 2019, Sills has yet to make his NFL debut.
Aug 4, 2020
Good to go
Sills was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday morning, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Undrafted last year, Sills spent much of the season on the Giants' practice squad. He'll now have a chance to compete for a back-end roster spot.
Jul 28, 2020
Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list
The Giants placed Sills (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
Sills' placement on the COVID list means that he's either contracted the virus or been exposed to it and needs to quarantine. The West Virginia product spent most of the 2019 campaign on New York's practice squad after going undrafted. He had a brief stint on the active roster, but did not ultimately get the opportunity to make his NFL debut.
