Looking at the Falcons first, we received some interesting updates following Saturday’s practice. Receiver Darnell Mooney, who has missed practice all week with a hamstring injury, has officially been ruled out for Monday night. Joining him on the sidelines will be corner Clark Phillips III who has also missed practice this week, and defensive lineman Ta’Quon Graham. With Graham, he had his 21-day window open from injured reserve on Thursday, and actually did practice Thursday and Friday. But for some reason, he did not practice on Saturday and will have to wait at least another week to return. The Falcons being down LaCale London too stretches their interior depth a bit.
Additionally, rookie Billy Bowman Jr. who was added to the injury report on Friday, is listed as questionable as he deals with knee and hamstring injuries. He was able to practice on a limited basis though on Saturday, so we will see.
The Bills have some key players who will be sidelined on Monday. Linebacker Matt Milano, defensive tackle T.J. Sanders, and safety Damar Hamlin have all been ruled out this week. Bills’ head coach Sean McDermott added that Sanders and Hamlin will be placed on injured reserve.
More up in the air is tight end Dalton Kincaid and receiver Curtis Samuel who are listed as questionable to play. Kincaid was limited all week, while Samuel was both limited and not practicing throughout the last few days. Some positive news for the Bills though, defensive tackle Ed Oliver, who was limited all week, was able to practice fully on Saturday and will play this week.
