LANDOVER, Md. — The Atlanta Falcons will enter into Sunday night's bout against the Washington Commanders in a good spot health-wise, particularly offensively. All offensive starters — and a majority of the backups — are available for Atlanta.
Defensively, the main name to keep in mind is that of defensive back Kevin King. King has played a key role in depth for this Falcons' secondary in 2024. He is working through the league's concussion protocol and was ruled out Friday. Fellow defensive back Antonio Hamilton Sr. was placed on injured reserve with a quad injury Saturday. The Falcons used a standard practice squad elevation on defensive back Lamar Jackson to account for the missing depth pieces.
Here is the full list of Falcons inactives for Week 17:
RB Carlos Washington
CB Kevin King
DL Brandon Dorlus
OL Elijah Wilkinson
T Tyrone Wheatley Jr.
T Brandon Parker
WR Casey Washington
The Falcons take flight to Washington DC to face the Commanders in week seventeen of the 2024 season. #RiseUp
