Falcons depth chart: Week 16

Week 16 is upon us as the Atlanta Falcons prepare to host the Detroit Lions. Although the playoff talk came to an abrupt end following a loss against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 15, it’s a new week as the team prepares for their next matchup. The Falcons have yet to win a game in Atlanta this year as they look to defeat a two-win Detroit team. On Tuesday, the team released their updated depth chart which has a few changes.

Not a lot of changes were made to this week’s depth chart, as you’d expect. As noted, safety Erik Harris was officially placed on injured reserve on Saturday and is no longer on the depth chart. In his place is Jaylinn Hawkins, with Shawn Williams backing him up at safety after being signed to the active roster. Williams received about 10 snaps this past Sunday.

Additionally, it seems the quarterback depth is back to a toss up. For several weeks Josh Rosen was listed as the clear backup while Feliepe Franks was third string. Rosen however has been a healthy scratch over the last two games and now the backup spot is listed equally between the two.
