Falcons Roster Update: Players in and Out Ahead of Week 11 vs. Broncos
Key Players Added and Removed
Ahead of their crucial Week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos, the Atlanta Falcons have made several significant roster moves.
* **Added:**
* DL Jonathan Bullard (signed from Dolphins practice squad)
* DL Anthony Rush (elevated from practice squad)
* **Removed:**
* CB Isaiah Oliver (placed on injured reserve with hamstring injury)
* DL Marlon Davidson (waived)
Injury Report and Week 11 Outlook
The Falcons' injury report includes several key players.
* **Questionable:**
* WR Drake London (knee)
* TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring)
* **Out:**
* CB A.J. Terrell (hamstring)
* S Erik Harris (ankle)
The status of London and Pitts for Sunday's game is uncertain, potentially impacting the team's offensive game plan. Terrell and Harris' absences will test the Falcons' secondary against the Broncos' potent passing attack.
Despite the injuries, the Falcons remain confident heading into Week 11.
"We're facing a lot of adversity right now," said head coach Arthur Smith. "But we have a lot of guys stepping up, and we're excited about this challenge."
Broncos Matchup Preview
The Falcons will travel to Denver to face the 3-6 Broncos. The Broncos are coming off a disappointing loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and will be eager to rebound against a struggling Falcons team.
The Broncos' offense is led by quarterback Russell Wilson, who has struggled this season but remains a threat with his mobility and arm strength. Their defense has also played well, ranking 11th in the NFL in points allowed.
The Falcons will need to play a strong game on both sides of the ball to secure a win in Denver. Their offense, led by quarterback Marcus Mariota, must find a way to consistently move the ball against the Broncos' defense. The defense, despite the injuries, will need to generate pressure on Wilson and create turnovers.
The Falcons-Broncos matchup promises to be an intriguing battle with playoff implications for both teams. The Falcons will look to overcome adversity and return to the win column, while the Broncos will aim to snap their losing streak and keep their playoff hopes alive.
