FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons are once again making a quarterback switch.

The team is going back to Taylor Heinicke to start Sunday against Indianapolis, a source confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday, replacing Desmond Ridder for the second time this year.

Going back and forth is not something Falcons coach Arthur Smith wanted to do this season, multiple times saying he didn't want to go on a quarterback carousel. But he talked about the possibility Monday when he discussed potentially making a switch at the position again.
