Falcons Adjust Defense for Saints Clash as Penix Leads Roster

The Atlanta Falcons released their Week 4 depth chart ahead of a Monday Night Football matchup against the New Orleans Saints at the Caesars Superdome. The primary change is the insertion of cornerback C.J. Henderson into the starting lineup, replacing A.J. Terrell Jr., who was placed on injured reserve due to a groin injury. The team also added newly signed cornerback Robert Longerbeam to the roster. Head coach Kevin Stefanski indicated the team will utilize the extended break between games to refine fundamentals and review film. The Falcons are coming off a 35-14 victory over the Green Bay Packers, while the Saints are preparing for a divisional contest after a 35-27 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Falcons set to hire Tommy Rees as next offensive architect

The Atlanta Falcons are reportedly hiring Tommy Rees, the Browns’ former offensive coordinator and ex Notre Dame OC, to be their new OC under head coach Kevin Stefanski. Rees would reunite with Stefanski after two seasons in Cleveland, including a 2025 OC stint that followed Stefanski assuming play-calling duties and a season that contributed to Stefanski’s firing after a 5-12 record.
