The Atlanta Falcons are gearing up for a huge international game this weekend. Atlanta will face off against Cincinnati from Madrid in a game that must feel like a must-win for both teams. Unfortunately, the Falcons will not have one of their offensive weapons on Sunday after their latest injury update.
The Falcons made a few changes to their injury report ahead of Week 9 on Friday.
Running back Brian Robinson Jr. has been ruled out for the Madrid game because of a hamstring injury, per Falcons reporter Tori McElhaney. Robinson was limited in practice on Thursday, which created some hope that he could play in Week 9.
EDGE rusher James Pearce Jr. is also dealing with a back issue. Atlanta will monitor his status throughout the weekend before making a decision on him, per head coach Kevin Stefanski.
Pearce is officially eligible to return from his 8-game suspension against the Bengals.
