ATLANTA — Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was ruled out of Sunday’s game against Seattle.
Ryan, who suffered a right ankle sprain against the Rams on Sunday, took part in practice Friday and was listed as questionable for Falcons’ game against the Seahawks at 1 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Then Saturday, the team elevated quarterback Danny Etling from the practice squad to the active roster, signaling that he will serve as the backup to Matt Schaub on Sunday.
The Falcons placed offensive lineman John Wetzel on waivers to make room for Etling on the 53-man roster.
Ryan appeared comfortable Friday on short, three-step, dropbacks.
