The Falcons aren’t exactly healthy heading into their final game of the season, as they’re down Alex Mack, Julio Jones, and Darqueze Dennard Sunday. The Buccaneers are also not exactly healthy, either, as they’ve placed three defenders on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of the matchup with the Falcons.
Two of those three are essential defenders. Devin White has had a bonkers season, putting up 140 tackles, 16 quarterback hits and 9 sacks as he’s really found his stride in his second NFL season. After leading the league in sacks a years ago, Shaq Barrett has predictably come back to earth a bit, but still has 8 sacks and 16 quarterback hits on the year.
