Looking at the Falcons first, as mentioned they have a long list of injuries to begin this week. Some notables to keep an eye on this week are guards Chris Lindstrom and Matthew Bergeron, and receiver Drake London. We also received news today that linebacker DeAngelo Malone has been placed on injured reserve due to his ankle injury.
The Panthers have a much shorter list, but a notable name to keep an eye on is running back Rico Dowdle, who has been arguably their best player this season. Dowdle is dealing with a quad injury, but it is early into the week so we will see how that progresses over the next few days.
