The Atlanta Falcons announced their final injury report ahead of their Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Madrid, Spain. Wide receiver Zachariah Branch and running back Brian Robinson Jr. have both been ruled out due to hamstring injuries. Branch suffered his injury during last week's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while Robinson is set to miss his third consecutive game. Veteran wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is expected to take on a larger role, and running back Khalil Herbert may be elevated from the practice squad. Additionally, James Pearce Jr. is uncertain for the game due to a flare-up in his back, although he was a limited participant in practice. Linebacker Divine Deablo has been cleared to play after participating fully in practice.
