A new week is underway, as the Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens prepare to face off on Sunday evening. The Falcons have now won back-to-back primetime games, and they look to make it a third. For that, they’re going to need some of their currently banged up players to get healthy.
Let’s take a look!

Looking at the Falcons first, there are some notable names to keep an eye on heading into Friday. Za’Darius Smith, who has played well recently and had a scary injury against the New Orleans Saints last week, is currently in concussion protocol. His status for this weekend is unclear, but thankfully it sounds like he dodged a major injury, as at first that’s what it appeared like. Another big name to keep an eye on is Jake Matthews who also left the Saints game with a groin injury. Matthews currently holds the longest active streak for games started in the NFL with 200.
The Ravens have a very large list of players who are dealing with injuries, with none as big as Lamar Jackson who has an ankle injury. Some reports have said that Jackson may miss multiple games, while some recently have said he may still suit up on Sunday night. If he’s unable to play, the Falcons will see Tyler Huntley in his stead.
