Falcons flex QB Kurt Benkert to active roster

The Falcons are, as far as we know, extremely healthy at the moment. They’re down Dante Fowler Jr., but otherwise they seem to be in great shape for Sunday’s tilt against the New Orleans Saints.

That’s why it’s mildly surprising that the Falcons have flexed Kurt Benkert to the active roster for Sunday’s game, which would seem to suggest some sort of quarterback issue the team has yet to announce. Either that or they really like Benkert’s ability to make fun of the Saints from the sidelines, which I would also respect.
