The Atlanta Falcons have announced their list of inactive players for the Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills. Among those sidelined is starting nickel Billy Bowman Jr., who will not play due to a knee and hamstring injury that appeared on the team’s injury report late last week. Bowman was initially listed as questionable in Saturday’s game report.
Dee Alford may take over at nickel cornerback in Bowman’s absence. Alford has recently filled in for A.J. Terrell, who missed games with a hamstring injury but will return to the lineup after being left off the most recent injury report.
Wide receiver Darnell Mooney is also ruled out because of a hamstring issue, while fellow receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III is a healthy scratch and will not play despite not being injured.
To address these absences at wide receiver, the Falcons are expected to rely on Casey Washington, KhaDarel Hodge, and possibly kick returner Jamal Agnew. The team also elevated Deven Thompkins from the practice squad for this matchup.
The full list of Atlanta’s inactive players for Week 6 includes: Darnell Mooney (WR), Clark Phillips III (CB), Billy Bowman Jr. (CB), Ray-Ray McCloud III (WR), Nathan Carter (RB), Jack Nelson (OL), and LaCale London (DL).
