CB Houston out for Falcons-Rams

Falcons coach Mike Smith said the team is being extra cautious with injuries and did not believe that Houston’s injury would linger.
Running back Thomas Brown (leg) is considered questionable and a game-time decision.
While linebacker Edmond Miles (knee), safety William Moore (knee) and defensive tackle Jason Jefferson (hip flexor) will not play.
