After losing to the Baltimore Ravens in overtime, the Atlanta Falcons will attempt to get back on track against the Chicago Bears in NFL Week 6. Much of the talk leading up to Sunday's game has focused on the health of quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Michael Penix Jr.
Williams was listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury, but he's expected to play after missing the last two games. As for Penix, he suffered a rib injury in Week 5 that knocked him out of the game.
However, the third-year quarterback did not receive an injury designation and won't have any restrictions in Week 6. The Falcons do have some notable injuries, though.
No. 1 cornerback A.J. Terrell is on the injured reserve list, and C.J. Henderson has been ruled out for Sunday's
game due to a groin injury.
That leaves No. 2 cornerback Mike Hughes and rookie Avieon Terrell to slow down one of the most explosive offenses in football. Atlanta may also be without edge rusher Za'Darius Smith, who was listed as questionable with a neck injury.
Check out the Falcons' starting lineups on offense, defense and special teams for their Week 6 matchup against the Bears.
