Falcons' Kevin King: Ruled Out vs. Commanders in Week 11

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Kevin King has been ruled out for the team's Week 11 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

King suffered a hamstring injury in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Carolina Panthers and did not practice this week.

With King out, the Falcons will likely start Isaiah Oliver and A.J. Terrell at cornerback against the Commanders. Oliver has started all 10 games this season, while Terrell has started nine games.

The Falcons have struggled to generate pressure on opposing quarterbacks this season, ranking 31st in the NFL with just 15 sacks. The Commanders, on the other hand, have allowed the second-fewest sacks in the NFL with just 10.

The Falcons will need to find a way to generate pressure on Commanders quarterback Taylor Heinicke if they want to win on Sunday. If they can't, Heinicke could have a big day against the Falcons' depleted secondary.
