The Atlanta Falcons released their injury report today ahead of Sunday’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers game. The Bucs game feels like one Atlanta wins, if only to keep our hopes alive of a playoff push before those hopes are finally dashed. Like they always are.
The good news? Derrick Shelby and Justin Bethel were limited, suggesting they are almost guaranteed to play on Sunday. Bethel is one of the league’s better special teams player, so he should be a decent boost. Shelby is Atlanta’s top run-stuffing defensive end, and honestly, any defensive line help would be great.
