ATLANTA — The Falcons enter into Sunday night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a clean bill of health.
Despite being limited at various points during practice this week, running back Tyler Allgeier (hip), defensive back Antonio Hamilton (groin) and defensive lineman James Smith-Williams (hip) were all full participants in Friday’s practice and were not given a game designation, meaning they were available to be active Sunday, and with the release of the team’s inactives list pre-game, they officially are.
This is technically Hamilton’s first game with the Falcons after being ruled out of their matchups with the Steelers and Eagles to start the season. He has been working back from a groin injury he suffered during practice in Week 1. He is listed as Dee Alford’s backup at nickel on the team’s official depth chart.
As for who is inactive, there are no surprises for the team Sunday night.
Rookie running back Jase McClellan and defensive linemen Ruke Orhorhoro and Brandon Dorlus are inactive for the third time this year. Head coach Raheem Morris was asked about Orhorhoro’s inactive status earlier this week. He said the coaching staff has really liked what they have been getting from the six defensive linemen they have up on game day, which includes Grady Jarrett, David Onyemata, Ta’Quon Graham, Eddie Goldman, Zach Harrison and Kentavious Street.
“(Ruke) just happens to be surrounded by a bunch of vets right now that are actually really intently doing a good job for us,” Morris said.
