The Falcons are getting ready for their Week 7 game in Atlanta while the Seahawks travel across the country, and both teams will be missing key players.
Tre Brown, Riq Woolen and Stone Forsythe will not be available in Seattle. This depleted Seahawks defense is ready for another strong performance from Zac Robinson and Kirk Cousins against a Falcons offense that is starting to improve.
On the flip side, while the offense is doing well, the defense, particularly the pass rush, is having a tough time. Nevertheless, the Falcons will encounter the weakest offensive line in football, and it will be lacking some key players. Seattle will have their fourth-string tackle on the field. If they are unable to apply pressure on Geno Smith, they will never succeed.
Raheem Morris informed reporters on Friday that Lorenzo Carter and Troy Andersen will not be playing in Sunday’s game for the Falcons, and there is a chance that Justin Simmons may also be absent.
Not having Andersen and Carter is definitely not the best situation. The Falcons defense is currently facing challenges, and it’s not ideal to be missing any players, even if they’re not top performers. Yet, Simmons is much more significant than Carter and Andersen.
Justin Simmons and Jessie Bates III have emerged as the top safety pair in the league, with opposing offenses steering clear of them. The Falcons may face their toughest challenge yet when it comes to the Seahawks receiving group, making Simmons’ absence a major blow. Hopefully, he can make it.
