The Atlanta Falcons have no choice but to shake off their frustration from Sunday's overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens and begin preparing for a dangerous Chicago Bears team.
Both NFC squads are dealing with injuries to their starting quarterbacks entering NFL Week 6. The Bears are hoping to get Caleb Williams back from a severe hamstring strain, while Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. suffered a rib injury late against Baltimore.
The Falcons are reportedly optimistic that Penix will play on Sunday, but head coach Kevin Stefanski wants to wait until he sees his QB in practice this week.
In terms of roster news, the Falcons made some changes right before their Sunday Night matchup in Week 5. The team placed linebacker Yasir Abdullah on the reserve/injured
list and signed safety Jammie Robinson off of the practice squad in a corresponding move.
That still leaves one practice squad spot available for the Falcons going into their Week 6 matchup against the Bears. Check out the team's updated 53-man roster and practice squad below.
