ATL Standard

The Atlanta Falcons have announced their depth chart for the upcoming game against the Washington Commanders. The game is significant as the Falcons aim to maintain their position at the top of the NFC South.

The Commanders recently secured a win over the Philadelphia Eagles, with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels leading a fourth-quarter comeback. However, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris emphasized his team's focus on controlling their playoff destiny, stating, "I closed the phone and realized that we had the pen back. Got to go keep it."

Ahead of this matchup on "Sunday Night Football," Atlanta made several roster changes. Wide receiver Chris Blair has been added to the active roster following his signing before Week 16's victory over the New York Giants. Consequently, linebacker Rashaan Evans was released to accommodate Blair's addition.

Further adjustments include a change at kicker due to Younghoe Koo being placed on injured reserve, leading to Riley Patterson's signing. Michael Penix Jr. is now listed as the starting quarterback for Atlanta.

These updates reflect Atlanta's strategic moves as they prepare for their crucial Week 17 game against Washington.
