Atlanta Falcons Announce Inactives for Game Against Indianapolis Colts
The Atlanta Falcons have announced their inactives for the upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts. This match will take place in Berlin, Germany. The team previously ruled out several players due to injuries.
Injury Updates and Inactives
Left guard Matthew Bergeron (ankle), edge rusher Leonard Floyd (hamstring), and offensive tackle Storm Norton (foot) were confirmed inactive ahead of the game. Additionally, two key starters had their statuses in question.
- Chris Lindstrom (right guard) – Active
- Mike Hughes (cornerback) – Inactive
- LaCale London (defensive lineman) – Inactive
Player Adjustments
With Hughes and London listed as inactive, cornerback Dee Alford is expected to start. Alford has served as the nickel back for the past four weeks, filling in for Billy Bowman Jr., who has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since the Falcons’ Week 5 bye.
Bowman has practiced fully this week and is projected to return to the starting lineup. This development allows Alford to shift to the outside corner position.
Practice Squad Elevation
To bolster their defensive lineup, the Falcons have elevated cornerback Keith Taylor from the practice squad. This strategic move aims to enhance depth in the secondary during the game against the Colts.
As the Falcons prepare for their matchup in Berlin, the team’s adjustments will be crucial in maintaining their competitive edge.
