Falcons Face Serious Injury Issues Before Buccaneers Game

The Atlanta Falcons enter their Week 8 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers dealing with severe injury issues, with 18 players listed on Friday's injury report. Despite the lengthy list of questionable players, running back Brian Robinson Jr. is the only player officially ruled out for Atlanta. The Buccaneers also listed just one player ruled out, with wide receiver Emeka Egbuka unavailable for the contest.

Outside of Robinson, guard Chris Lindstrom was Atlanta's only non-participant during Friday's practice due to personal reasons. Meanwhile, Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts is fully healthy and not listed on the injury report. Both NFC South rivals split their regular-season series in 2025, with Atlanta winning the most recent encounter 29-28 after overcoming a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit.
