Desmond Ridder departed. Grady Jarrett left. Drake London was sidelined. Keith Smith exited. Mike Hughes is dealing with a possible concussion, too. The injuries were a big problem for Atlanta on Sunday, and while it looks like we’ll see London soon, things aren’t quite as certain this week for Ridder, Smith, and Hughes.
That shook up this week’s snap counts, and it will definitely shake up next week’s if some of those players don’t return. We know Ridder will be replaced by Heinicke—that might be coming permanently—and that Hughes will likely cede punt returner duties to Scotty Miller if Hughes can’t go Sunday.
