The Falcons will be down both Russell Gage and Frank Darby on Sunday, and though we’ve yet to see Darby play, that’s two receivers you’re going without. That leaves a thin receiver corps of Calvin Ridley, Olamide Zaccheaus, Tajae Sharp and Christian Blake, and while the Falcons figure to involve Hayden Hurst and Cordarrelle Patterson more as receiving options to help offset the loss of Gage, that’s probably fewer players than Atlanta’s comfortable rolling with.
That would explain why they’ve flexed Juwan Green to the active roster for tomorrow.
