Injuries shake up the depth chart. Even with the welcome news that Jeff Okudah’s injury should only keep him out into the beginning or the season, the Falcons now have to figure out their contingency plan and determine who will be up to the task of filling in for Okudah should he miss Week 1 or perhaps a couple of weeks after that.
The team traded for Okudah to give themselves a capable young starter opposite A.J. Terrell, figuring a change of scenery would help him realize his immense potential after an up-and-down stint in Detroit.
