The Atlanta Falcons entered the weekend with only one player deemed questionable for Sunday's game, but defensive end Takk McKinley will be available for the team against the Detroit Lions.

After missing last week's win against the Minnesota Vikings, McKinley is back in the fold. It hasn't been the year that the former first-round pick was hoping for, as a groin injury has prevented McKinley from playing a full game since Week 1 against Seattle. Despite his limited playing time, McKinley has been effective when on the field for Atlanta, and he currently ranks second on the team with seven quarterback hits. His presence will be important for the Falcons, who are seeking their second win of the season.

Here's the full Falcons inactives list for Sunday:
