Monday Night Football Week 2 Inactives: Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The Atlanta Falcons play against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field for the second Monday Night Football game of the 2024 season. Both teams have played against each other 37 times, including four playoff games, as the Eagles have won 21 games, while the Falcons have won 15, including one tie, according to The Football Database. The over/under is 47.5 points, and the Eagles are favored by 6.5.

The Falcons are coming off a disappointing 10-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Kirk Cousins’ first game since his Achiless injury in 2023. Cousins struggled tremendously, as many people called him washed and feared he hadn’t fully recovered. He completed 16 out of 26 pass attempts for 155 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.

The Eagles are coming off a sloppy 34-29 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Brazil despite turning the ball over three times. Jalen Hurts completed 20 out of 34 pass attempts for 278 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. The game came down to the final play as Zack Baun sealed the deal with the game-clinching sack on Malik Willis.

As previously mentioned on Gridiron Heroics, rules allowed teams to have 48 players suit up for game day and typically have anywhere from three to seven players inactive for each game. Pro Football Network explains the rules in further detail. Without further ado, here are the inactive lists for the Falcons and Eagles.
