The Atlanta Falcons face a real challenge in the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but members of the team’s roster continue to land on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Atlanta announced Thursday that reserve offensive tackle Jason Spriggs would receive that designation ahead of Sunday’s game, making him the 13th Falcons player currently on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Spriggs is the first Falcons offensive lineman to join that unfortunate group, which also includes Hayden Hurst, Tajae Sharpe and Richie Grant. The Falcons have been among the healthiest teams along the offensive line this season, but Spriggs did start at right tackle during the win against Miami in Week 7 and he’s played in eight games this season.
