With injuries to defensive ends Takk McKinley (shoulder) and Adrian Clayborn (groin), the Falcons beefed up the position by adding defensive end Austin Larkin to the 53-man roster Saturday.

McKinley is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay at 1 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Larkin, who had a strong exhibition season for the Falcons, has had three stints on the team's practice squad this season.

The Falcons waived guard Sean Harlow on Friday.

Harlow, who was a fourth-round pick in the 2017 draft, played one snap against the Panthers on Sunday. He was promoted from the practice squad Nov. 9.

Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
