The Atlanta Falcons suffered two injuries during Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs with both right tackle Kaleb McGary and center Drew Dalman exiting the game in the first half. The team placed Dalman on the injured reserve list with a high-ankle sprain but he can return after four weeks.
As for McGary, the former first-round pick is still on the active roster despite sustaining a knee injury in Week 3. However, McGary did not participate in Wednesday’s practice and his status for Week 4 is up in the air.
Overall, the Falcons are in much better shape than the New Orleans Saints entering this weekend’s NFC South showdown. On Wednesday’s injury report, Atlanta only listed McGary while New Orleans listed nine players, including running back Alvin Kamara.
Four Saints players did not participate and three others were limited. Quarterback Derek Carr (groin) was a full participant. Check out the full Wednesday injury report for both teams below:

The Falcons signed offensive lineman Elijah Wilkinson off the practice squad to replace Dalman on Tuesday and later signed former third-round pick Matt Hennessy to fill the last practice squad opening. Hennessy started 17 games for the team in 2021.
Atlanta made some changes to the offensive and defensive lines on the team’s Week 4 depth chart. Ryan Neuzil was listed as the starting center in place of Dalman.
