The Atlanta Falcons are less than two hours away from kicking off their Week 3 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. While we still don’t know if Taylor Swift will be in attendance, both teams have announced their inactives for tonight’s game.
The Falcons have ruled out five players, including rookies Ruke Orhorhoro, Brandon Dorlus and Jase McClellan. Orhorhoro has yet to appear in a game this season despite the team trading up to draft him early in the second round.
Rookie linebacker JD Bertrand is active and could see playing time with Nate Landman on injured reserve. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is active and will serve as the backup to Kirk Cousins. Check out Atlanta’s full Week 3 inactives list below:
