Atlanta Falcons defensive end Takk McKinley, who was fined by the team earlier this week for comments he made on social media, will miss his second consecutive game because of a groin injury and illness.
In addition, defensive end Dante Fowler (hamstring) and cornerback Jordan Miller (oblique) also will not play against Denver on Sunday because of injuries. Calvin Ridley, the Falcons' leader in receptions, receiving yards, and TD catches, is questionable with a foot injury.
McKinley, who also missed last week's game against Carolina, has played in just 81 snaps and has only one sack in four games this season.
