In Week 4, the Atlanta Falcons will play the first of three consecutive NFC South games when they host the New Orleans Saints at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Sunday’s game could be heavily influenced by injuries as both teams will be without multiple offensive linemen.
The Falcons ruled out right tackle Kaleb McGary (knee) despite his return to practice on Friday. Center Drew Dalman (ankle) was placed on the injured reserve list following Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs. Ryan Neuzil will take Dalman’s place and Storm Notron is in for McGary.
The Saints placed center Eric McCoy on injured reserve earlier this week and ruled out guard Cesar Ruiz (knee) for Sunday’s matchup. New Orleans has also ruled out linebacker Demario Davis due to COVID.
Falcons running back Bijan Robinson (shoulder) and linebacker Matthew Judon (hamstring) both returned to full participation after being limited at Thursday’s practice.
Defensive linemen David Onyemata and Grady Jarrett were given a rest day while Ta’Quon Graham was limited. Check out the team’s complete Week 4 injury report with game designations below:
