The Falcons on Monday released their official depth chart — and a projected injury report — for Thursday’s 8:20 p.m. game against the Carolina Panthers.
The Falcons (1-6) are set to face the Panthers (3-4) for the second time this season. The Panthers defeated the Falcons 23-16 earlier this month in Atlanta.
Wide receiver Julio Jones was listed on the official projected injury report with a hip injury. That’s a new injury as he’d been previously listed with a hamstring injury. He was seen several times during the Lions’ game on the sideline being stretched out by the training staff.
Here’s the projected injury report.
Monday, Oct. 26
