FLOWERY BRANCH -- With running back Cordarrelle Patterson placed on injured reserve, rookie running back Tyler Allgeier ascended to the No. 1 spot on the official depth chart for the Tampa Bay game, which was released by the team Tuesday.

Caleb Huntley, who was signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad, is listed as the No. 3 running back behind Allgeier and Avery Williams.

The Falcons also have some decisions to make on some of the nine players on injured reserve. Linebacker Deion Jones, cornerback Isaiah Oliver, defensive tackle Marlon Davidson, guard Jalen Mayfield and tight end John FitzPatrick are eligible to come off short-term injured reserve.
