FLOWERY BRANCH -- The official depth chart released Tuesday by the Falcons (5-6) for their game at 1 p.m. Sunday against the Commanders (6-5) has Parker Hesse as the starting tight end and Matt Dickerson as a starting defensive end.
Tight end Kyle Pitts (right knee) and defensive end Ta’Quon Graham (left knee) were placed on injured reserve Monday. Both were injured in the 27-24 win over the Bears on Sunday.
