The Atlanta Falcons (6-6) will hit the road this weekend for a Week 14 showdown against the Minnesota Vikings (10-2). Kirk Cousins‘ former team has thrived without him this season while the veteran quarterback has hit a rough patch over the last few weeks.
Despite the team’s three-game losing streak, the defense came alive with a season-high five sacks. Atlanta may be getting some help on that side of the ball soon. Rookie defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro has been designated to return from the injured reserve list. We’ll see if he’s activated in time for Sunday’s game.
The Falcons also signed safety Dane Cruikshank and running back Elijah Dotson to the practice squad, releasing kicker Riley Patterson and linebacker Tyreek Maddox-Williams. Check out the Falcons’ updated 53-man roster and practice squad for Week 14 below:
