The Atlanta Falcons are down one starting receiver going into Sunday’s NFC South matchup against the Saints, but New Orleans will be missing one starting cornerback.
Falcons wide receiver Mack Hollins and Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore have both been ruled out for Week 12. New Orleans also ruled out running back Keandre Miller, while defensive end Isaiah Foskey (quadricep) is questionable.

The Falcons had a brief scare with kicker Younghoe Koo missing Wednesday’s practice due to a back injury. Atlanta even signed veteran Matthew Wright to the practice squad as a precaution.
Koo is expected to play after returning for practice on Thursday and Friday. Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke‘s status is in doubt after he was listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report.
Head coach Arthur Smith has previously stated that third-string QB Logan Woodside would serve as Atlanta’s backup if Heinicke is unable to go on Sunday.
