The Atlanta Falcons have gotten by with very few major injuries this season, but in Week 8, the team will take the field missing three of four starters in the secondary. A.J. Terrell, Casey Hayward and Jaylinn Hawkins have each been ruled out for Sunday’s game.
On the other side, the Panthers are undermanned at running back. Not only did they trade away star Christian McCaffrey, second-year RB Chuba Hubbard has been ruled out with an ankle injury.
The Falcons have released their Week 8 inactives list, which includes seven players.
