Matt Ryan left last week’s game against the Rams with a right ankle injury and his status for this week’s matchup is far from certain. However, the good news for Atlanta is that Ryan is practicing today after missing the last two days, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the ACJ relays.
Per Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com (Twitter link), Ryan will be a game-time decision this week. If Ryan can’t go on Sunday vs. the Seahawks, Matt Schaub is in line to make the start for the Falcons.
Ryan will only be active is he is starting, meaning that Atlanta won’t have him on as an emergency QB. The club will also be without G James Carpenter and RB Ito Smith on offense.
Falcons are 1-6 and going nowhere. Sit him. Why risk it?
Might as well release him and start over. Along with their entire rister
seriously, just sit him! especially with bye next week…dumb
Making their WR the highest paid seems like a bad decision now.
But if they didn’t make Julio the highest paid and traded him or let him walk and they were 1-6…everyone be like: ‘seems like a bad decision now not paying Julio’…..smh Julio getting paid literally has nothing to do with being 1-6. Never understood why people think a players contract determines the outcome of a season…
