The Atlanta Falcons have announced their list of inactive players for Sunday’s home game against the Seattle Seahawks. Edge rusher James Pearce Jr., who was previously listed as questionable, will be active and available to play.
Pearce has achieved a sack in four straight games, raising his season total to five sacks and leading the team with nine quarterback hurries. His current streak is tied with Ed Oliver for the second-longest active sack streak in the NFL.
The Falcons will be without defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus, who leads the team with six sacks and shares the top spot for tackles for loss at nine with Kaden Elliss. Dorlus was ruled out on Friday due to a groin injury after missing practice throughout the week.
Wide receiver Drake London is also out as he continues to recover from a PCL strain. This marks the third consecutive game that London, Atlanta’s leading pass catcher, will miss.
Casey Washington, another wide receiver, is inactive as a healthy scratch for the third time this season. In contrast, KhaDarel Hodge, who was inactive last week alongside Washington, will be active and contribute both as a receiver and on special teams.
Safety DeMarcco Hellams does not appear on this week’s inactive list because he was placed on injured reserve Saturday. The Falcons filled his roster spot by signing wide receiver Deven Thompkins from their practice squad.
The full list of Falcons inactives for Week 14 includes: WR Drake London, CB Cobee Bryant, RB Nathan Carter, DL Brandon Dorlus, OL Michael Jerrell, and WR Casey Washington.
