FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons released their Week 1 depth chart for the 2025 regular season on Tuesday.
As a reminder, the depth chart is meant as a helpful guide for the Falcons' Week 1 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It is not considered concrete for either the present or future. Personnel decisions can always change.
"I always hate to see the depth chart," Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said, "because it just doesn't really tell the whole story, because sometimes people start in different roles and different phases of the game and just because it's not the first play of the game, doesn't mean you're not necessarily a starter or have a starting role."
Below is a look at the entire depth chart before Sunday's game kicks off at 1 p.m. ET.
