The Atlanta Falcons are about to square off against the Washington Redskins, and they’ll be down their starting kicker and one of their starting cornerbacks when they do so. They’ll also, interestingly enough, be rolling with just two reserve offensive linemen.
Robert Alford and Matt Bryant were expected to be out for this one, but the Falcons are also sitting Brian Hill and Steven Means at running back and defensive end, leaving Ito Smith and Tevin Coleman at RB and Vic Beasley, Takk McKinley, Brooks Reed and Derrick Shelby at end.
