The Atlanta Falcons entered Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers without two starting offensive linemen and they may have lost a third before halftime.
Left tackle Jake Matthews is questionable to return and has been replaced by Tyler Vrabel in the starting lineup. Vrabel was one of the team’s two practice-squad elevations for Week 14.
