Atlanta ruled out inside linebacker Divine Deablo and nickel back Billy Bowman Jr. for Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay, extending both players’ absences to a second straight week. Brian Robinson Jr. is also out, so the Falcons are expected to rely on familiar replacements while adding Khalil Herbert and Brian Asamoah from the practice squad.

By the Numbers
  • 3 Falcons are ruled out: Deablo, Bowman and Brian Robinson Jr.
  • 2 players — Herbert and Asamoah — received practice squad elevations for a second consecutive week.
Yes, But

Atlanta could have a different option at nickel: Avieon Terrell is questionable after limited practices all week, following an illness that kept him out last week. If he can’t play, Sydney Brown is the likely fill-in.

State of Play
  • Kendal Daniels is expected to wear the green dot, with Harold Perkins Jr. starting alongside him at inside linebacker.
  • Herbert is set to back up Bijan Robinson; Asamoah adds linebacker depth.
  • Wide receiver Beaux Collins and offensive tackle Cameron Williams are also out and remain on injured reserve.
What’s Next

Atlanta’s inactive list is due 90 minutes before Sunday’s 1 p.m. ET kickoff in Tampa. Terrell’s availability could determine the Falcons’ nickel plan.

Bottom Line

The Falcons will be without three players who also missed last week’s win, making continuity among their replacements—and Terrell’s potential return—the key personnel factors against the Buccaneers.
