FLOWERY BRANCH — Here’s a look at the Falcons’ official 53-man depth chart heading into Sunday’s game with the Steelers, which is set for 1 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
“I don’t even look at that thing, to be honest,” Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Monday. “There goes your surprises right there.”
The team released the updated depth chart Tuesday.
Morris was asked whether Justin Simmons should be moved up to the No. 1 slot on the depth chart after he said Simmons was a “full-go” after his first full practice. In the last depth chart, Simmons and Matthew Judon, were listed as second-team players.
Both were moved to the first-team for the first time since being acquired late in training camp.
Here’s the depth chart:
