Antonio Hamilton Sr. — who is Alford's backup at nickel — has also been ruled out.
How the Falcons account for the absence of those two — plus the backup behind Alford — will be something to monitor in-game.
As we move closer to the line of scrimmage, the news doesn't get much better for the Falcons. Inside linebackers Troy Andersen (knee) and JD Bertrand (concussion) were not able to get the all-clear from their injuries,
Essentially 3 CBs and 2 LBs were out...not sure how the Donks keep getting to play all these MASH units.
Good game for the Donks...Chiefs losing today is nightmare scenario for them though. Week 18 could actually have value for HFA...which means KC will actually game plan this time around...and Hollywood Brown/Pacheco should be back.

Nix is the second rookie in history to have 300+ yards passing, 4+ TDs, and a passer rating over 140.
Do you suppose any other rookie QBs in history played against bad or injured defenses?
