The Falcons continue to refine their roster, with some impact defensive changes heading toward Sunday's game at Dallas. They added defensive lineman Anthony Rush to the active roster, released edge rusher Jacob Tuioti-Mariner and signed cornerback Chris Williamson to the unit.
They also promoted Daren Bates and James Vaughters off the practice squad last week, adding more fresh talent to the mix.
All that's reflected in the latest depth chart, which the team released on Tuesday afternoon.

Also make note of a minor depth chart change, with Calvin Ridley off of it while on the reserve/non-football injury list. Tajae Sharpe has slid into the starting lineup but, as we saw against New Orleans, the Falcons using a by-committee approach to account for Ridley's absence.
