We knew the Falcons were dealing with some big injuries before the inactives even came out. Matt Bosher was sent to injured reserve, and Jamon Brown was ruled out with a concussion. Early reports were Alex Mack would play, but now he’s playing next to struggling James Carpenter and constant injury-filler Wes Schweitzer. That’s great news for J.J. Watt and the Texans’ defensive line.
There’s some bad news here. First, Kenjon Barner is not healthy. He showed out pretty well as a returner, but now his reps will be split between Mohamed Sanu and Justin Hardy.
