Falcons to Host Chiefs Sunday with Four New Starters in Much-Changed Lineup
The Atlanta Falcons will host the Kansas City Chiefs at Mercedes-Benz Stadium at 1 p.m. on Sunday, November 15, with four changes to their starting lineup. The Falcons demoted cornerback Mike Hughes to the bench this week, with C.J. Henderson taking over as starter; Henderson signed a two-year, $20 million contract extension with the team on November 13. Before the trade deadline, the Falcons had already traded Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates to the Jacksonville Jaguars, sent starting center Ryan Neuzil to the Baltimore Ravens, and cut veteran kicker Nick Folk, replacing him with former third-round pick Jake Moody. Linebacker Divine Deablo and wide receiver Zachariah Branch will miss the Week 10 game with injuries, with Branch having missed two consecutive weeks with a hamstring injury. For the Chiefs, running back Kenneth Walker is out with a groin injury, and rookie Emmitt Johnson will make his first career start; defensive tackle Chris Jones traveled to Atlanta on his own for personal reasons. The Falcons are currently 3-6, while the Chiefs are 6-2, as the home team faces a strong opponent with a reshuffled lineup after the trade deadline.
