FLOWERY BRANCH — The Falcons (1-0) released their official depth chart for their game against the Bengals (0-1), which is set for 7:30 p.m. Friday at Mercedes Benz Stadium.
The starters will play against the Bengals. However, first-teamers in running back Cordarrelle Patterson (soft tissue/hamstring) and cornerback Jeff Okudah (ankle) will not play.
Running backs Tyler Allgeier (No. 2 on the depth chart) and Bijan Robinson (No. 3) will get the early action for Patterson, while cornerback Tre Flowers has been working with the first-team defense for Okudah.
After the release of linebacker Mykal Walker on Sunday, the first-team linebackers are Bud Dupree, Kaden Elliss, Troy Andersen and Arnold Ebiketie.
Also, rookie Matthew Bergeron officially moved ahead of Matt Hennessy at left guard. Hennessy was placed on injured reserve later Wednesday.
