The Atlanta Falcons (3-5) are in Madrid, Spain for their Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals (5-2). Sunday's game kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET at the famous Bernabéu Stadium.
The Falcons are desperate to bounce back after last week's embarrassing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Meanwhile, the Bengals have won three straight games and are looking to keep the pressure on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North race.
Both teams are in good shape health-wise entering Sunday's game, but there are a few injuries worth monitoring before kickoff. Falcons edge rusher James Pearce Jr. has returned to the team following an eight game suspension.
Pearce was listed as questionable due to a back injury, so make sure to check back for the inactives
list later this morning at 8:00 a.m. ET.
