The Falcons have released their depth chart ahead of the upcoming matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Atlanta will be without starting defensive end Takk McKinley as coach Dan Quinn announced he will miss the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury that occurred in Atlanta's 29-22 win over the 49ers.
