The Atlanta Falcons have announced their list of inactive players for the upcoming Monday Night Football game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Notably absent from this list is inside linebacker Troy Andersen, who was placed on injured reserve earlier due to a persistent knee injury that has affected him since Week 4.
In response, the Falcons have promoted defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro to fill Andersen's position on the active roster. This marks Orhorhoro's first activation since Week 8 after recovering from an ankle injury that also saw him placed on injured reserve. With Orhorhoro back in action, rookie defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus remains inactive, following a pattern observed earlier in the season.
Rookie wide receiver Casey Washington is another inactive player for the Falcons. He has been under concussion protocol and was officially ruled out on Friday.
On the Raiders' side, defensive end Maxx Crosby will miss the rest of the season due to an ankle injury requiring surgery. Additionally, Desmond Ridder will start as quarterback for the Raiders while Aiden O'Connell deals with a knee injury sustained in Week 14.
The complete list of inactive players for the Falcons in Week 15 includes:
- RB Carlos Washington Jr.
- ILB Rashaan Evans
- DL Brandon Dorlus
- OL Elijah Wilkinson
- T Brandon Parker
- WR Casey Washington
