FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Falcons released their sixth depth chart of the regular season.
Atlanta welcomes the Washington Commanders at home looking to stay undefeated at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
There are two changes to this week's edition after the Falcons placed wide receiver Josh Ali on injured reserve in Week 5. The Falcons signed defensive lineman Eli Ankou in a corresponding move. Ankou is added to the chart behind Albert Huggins.
Continue to note Cordarelle Patterson's "J" position signifies "Joker" as the veteran plays multiple positions.
