Falcons elevate wide receiver, linebacker from practice squad

In Week 10, the Atlanta Falcons will go for the season sweep of the New Orleans Saints, but they may need some help at the wide receiver position.

With Drake London questionable for Sunday’s game, the team has elevated wide receiver Chris Blair from the practice squad. The Falcons have also elevated outside linebacker Khalid Kareem ahead of this weekend’s NFC South showdown in New Orleans.

Blair shined throughout training camp, leading the team with 91 receiving yards and a Pro Football Focus grade of 91.9 during Atlanta’s preseason matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Saints are also thin at wide receiver, ruling out former first-round pick Chris Olave with a concussion. Despite losing seven straight games, New Orleans will be fired up after firing head coach Dennis Allen. Interim coach Darren Rizzi will look to get the Saints back on track in Week 10.

Atlanta ruled out center Drew Dalman for Sunday’s game, meaning Ryan Neuzil will make his seventh consecutive star. Check out the team’s updated 53-man roster, depth chart and injury report for Week 10.
