Falcons list inactives: Rookie to make NFL debut vs. Broncos

The Atlanta Falcons have released their inactives list for Sunday’s matchup against the Denver Broncos. Seven players, including cornerback Dee Alford and linebacker Troy Andersen, have been ruled out for Week 11.

Rookie defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus is active for the first time all season and will make his NFL debut Sunday afternoon in Denver.

Dorlus was considered a steal in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft, however, the Falcons’ depth at the interior defensive line position has kept the former Oregon standout from getting on the field thus far.

Falcons Week 11 inactives list:

  1. CB Mike Hughes
  2. CB Dee Alford
  3. CB Antonio Hamilton
  4. LB Troy Andersen
  5. TE Charlie Woerner
  6. OL Brandon Parker
  7. LB JD Bertrand (R)

The Falcons are extremely thin at cornerback and will look to Natrone Brooks and Dane Cruikshank to fill in against the Broncos. Sunday’s game starts at 4:05 p.m. ET inside Empower Field At Mile High.
