The Falcons listed Josh Rosen as the backup quarterback in the official depth chart released by the team Tuesday.
Also, Jalen Mayfield remained listed as the starter at left guard even though coach Arthur Smith said Monday that “all options were on the table.” Drew Dalman is listed as the No. 2 left guard and Colby Gossett as the No. 3 left guard.
The Falcons continue to list fullback Keith Smith at tight end, so we amended the depth chart to reflect that he’s the fullback and listed Cordarrelle Patterson as the No. 2 fullback, since both lined up at the position in the game against the Eagles.
Here’s the Falcons’ official depth heading into the NFC South opener against the Buccaneers on Sunday:
