Atlanta Falcons Announce Inactive Players for Game Against Miami Dolphins
In a crucial game against the Miami Dolphins, the Atlanta Falcons have announced their list of inactive players. Starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will not participate due to a knee injury that limited him throughout the week. Subsequently, Kirk Cousins has been named the starter for this match.
Injury Updates and Game Preparations
Head coach Raheem Morris indicated that Cousins had been taking first-team snaps during practice, preparing for this scenario. Morris expressed confidence in Cousins’ extensive experience in the league, stating, “It gives you a lot of comfort knowing that you have Kirk.” Cousins has been a consistent presence, starting all but three games for the Falcons this season.
Receiving Corps Adjustments
In addition to Penix, the Falcons also announced that wide receiver Drake London will be inactive. London was listed as questionable after sustaining a hip injury in practice. This development follows the release of wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud earlier in the week, leading to a significant adjustment in their receiving lineup.
The Falcons are now expected to rely on Darnell Mooney, David Sills V, KhaDarel Hodge, and Casey Washington to fill the void left by the injured players.
Running Back Status
On a positive note, running back Tyler Allgeier is active for the game after dealing with a hip and knee injury throughout the week. However, inside linebacker Divine Deablo, who has a forearm injury, was placed on injured reserve and will not appear in the inactives list.
