The Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints will play the first of two scheduled regular-season matchups this Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. While the Falcons started the week in much better shape than the Saints health-wise, they appear to be trending in the wrong direction.
Running back Bijan Robinson (shoulder) and linebacker Matthew Judon (hamstring) were among three starters added to the team’s Thursday injury report. Robinson and Judon were limited while right tackle Kaleb McGary (knee) and left tackle Jake Matthews (personal) did not participate.
It was McGary’s second straight missed practice. If he can’t play Sunday, the Falcons will look to Storm Norton at right tackle. Norton played for over half of the team’s Week 3 loss to the Chiefs, earning a Pro Football Focus grade of 60.6.

| Kaleb McGary | Knee | DNP | DNP | ||
| Bijan Robinson | Shoulder | — | LP | ||
| Matthew Judon | Hamstring | — | LP | ||
| Jake Matthews | Personal | — | DNP |
The Saints received some good news with star running back Alvin Kamara returning to practice on Thursday after sitting out to begin the week. Kamara has been on fire this season and his status is one to monitor over the next few days.
Sunday’s game begins at 1 p.m. ET inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Check out the Falcons’ updated 53-man roster and depth chart heading into their NFC South showdown in Week 4.
