The Falcons depth chart has been tested in recent weeks, especially on defense. It has made it work to this point, recovering for injured players.

RELATED CONTENT:

Jalylinn Hakwins has been ruled out while in the concussion protocol, leaving Dean Marlowe to start in his place. We also have to look at backup receiver, where we've seen movement between Damiere Byrd and Bryan Edwards. Byrd has taken Edwards' place in the offense, which remains up for grabs.

While the team has largely remained static, there have been some shakeups worthy of note.
