Atlanta Falcons Inactives for Week 11 Matchup vs. Denver Broncos

Key Players to Miss Sunday's Game

The Atlanta Falcons will be without several key players when they travel to Denver to face the Broncos in Week 11. The team announced on Saturday that wide receiver Calvin Ridley, linebacker Deion Jones, and defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. will all be inactive for the game.

Ridley has been dealing with a personal issue and has not played since Week 5. Jones has been out since Week 4 with a quad injury. Fowler has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury.

Ridley's Absence a Blow to Falcons' Passing Attack

Ridley's absence is a big blow to the Falcons' passing attack. The 26-year-old is one of the team's most dangerous playmakers and a favorite target of quarterback Matt Ryan. Ridley has 28 catches for 352 yards and two touchdowns in six games this season.

The Falcons will also be without wide receiver Russell Gage, who is on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Gage has been one of Ryan's most consistent targets in recent seasons.

Jones, Fowler Out as Falcons Defense Looks to Bounce Back

Jones is one of the Falcons' best defensive players and his absence will be a big loss. The 26-year-old has 48 tackles, two sacks, and two interceptions in eight games this season.

Fowler is also a key part of the Falcons' defense. The 27-year-old has 16 tackles, three sacks, and two forced fumbles in nine games this season.

The Falcons' defense has struggled in recent weeks, allowing an average of 30 points per game over the last three games. The team will need to play better on Sunday against a Broncos offense that is averaging 27 points per game.
