The Atlanta Falcons face off Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys with a key addition to the lineup. As anticipated, Dante Fowler finally returns to give the pass rush a much needed boost. The team’s defensive line has been extremely weak outside of Grady Jarrett.
The other news is blocking specialist Lee Smith being inactive, Atlanta elevated Parker Hesse from the practice squad. Hesse should fill in the same roll, as the team’s targets start to shrink after Kyle Pitts and Hayden Hurst.
The Falcons announced the following players out for Sunday’s match-up.
- CB Kendall Sheffield
- DL John Cominsky
- OL Josh Andrews
- TE Lee Smith
- DL Ta’Quon Graham
- DL Jonathan Bullard
Meanwhile, the Cowboys announced the following players out from their side.
