Kirk Cousins has completed 68.1 percent of his pass attempts for 2,807 yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Since they have the head-to-head tiebreaker, the Falcons are essentially two games up on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for tops in the NFC South.

Shortly after the Atlanta Falcons selected quarterback Michael Penix Jr. via the eighth overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, reporters and analysts noted that Atlanta could make Kirk Cousins available to other clubs following the ongoing season.

The Los Angeles Chargers are expected to be missing top running back J.K. Dobbins when they play the Atlanta Falcons in a matchup of teams trying to solidify their playoff hopes.

Several of the Falcons starters returned to practice Wednesday, according to the team’s official injury report.

From 2021 to 2023, the Falcons used multiple first-round picks on offensive weapons, drafting Kyle Pitts, Drake London and Bijan Robinson in consecutive years. Cousins has helped the team utilize these young playmakers in a way that Marcus Mariota, Taylor Heinicke and Desmond Ridder could not.

For an offense that is in a slump, the Falcons may need a home run, or two, to help the offense get back on track.

Andy Staples with On3 Sports added a former NFL head coach to the list of potential candidates for North Carolina. Staples thinks former Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith, who played for UNC in college, would bring strong connections to the Tar Heels.

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K Dobbins is unlikely to play this week against the Atlanta Falcons because of a knee injury.
