Wes Schweitzer, who started against the Saints, moved ahead of Jamon Brown at right guard on the Falcons’ official depth chart that was released by the team Tuesday.
It’s been a revolving door at the right guard spot since Chris Lindstrom broke the fifth metatarsal on his foot in the season opener.

Lindstrom’s injury coupled with injuries to left guard James Carpenter have compromised the interior of the offensive line. Brown likely will have to start at left guard if Carpenter doesn’t make it out of the concussion protocol.
With the release of Jermaine Grace, the Falcons are thin at linebacker and minus the team’s leading tackler on special teams.
If Lindstrom is activated and tight ends Austin Hooper (knee) and Luke Stocker (back) are healthy, tight end Carson Meier would appear to be the odd man out. Meier started and played 27 snaps against the Saints, but didn't get a target in the passing game.
