Falcons rule out two players and elevate two for game against Bucs

The Atlanta Falcons have ruled out cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. and linebacker Divine Deablo ahead of their Week 8 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both players were also inactive for last week's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Rookie Kendal Daniels will step up to lead the defense in Deablo's absence, while Harold Perkins Jr. is expected to start alongside him. The Falcons also elevated running back Khalil Herbert and linebacker Brian Asamoah from the practice squad to aid the roster, as Brian Robinson Jr. has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. The game is set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
