The Falcons face off against the Minnesota Vikings with both teams missing starting quarterbacks. The big story is two backup quarterbacks starting for completely different reasons, with Kirk Cousins injured and Desmond Ridder benched. It has overshadowed both teams dealing with big injuries heading into the matchup.
The Falcons knew its top injuries, with starting WR Drake London and FB Keith Smith already ruled out prior to Sunday’s game. Of note, Atlanta’s newest acquisition Kentavius Street will suit up to give the line some needed depth. A surprising change is rookie corner Clark Phillips is active and may suit up.
