FLOWERY BRANCH – Falcons safety Kemal Ishmael opened the season as the team’s fourth safety.
As the season has progressed, the Falcons have used William Moore, Ricardo Allen and Robenson Therezie ahead of Ishmael, who finished last season as a starter.
When Moore suffered a groin injury against Tennessee, Ishmael was called on to help the defense finish the game. He’s ready to play his role for the Falcons (6-1) against the Bucs (2-4) at 1 p.
