Falcons, Seahawks Depleted by Injuries Ahead of Game

The Atlanta Falcons will face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7 without key defensive players Lorenzo Carter and Troy Andersen, who are sidelined due to a concussion and knee injury, respectively. The Falcons' defense is already struggling, and their absence is compounded by uncertainty surrounding safety Justin Simmons' availability due to a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, the Seahawks will also be shorthanded, missing their fourth-string right tackle Stone Forsythe and two top cornerbacks, Riq Woolen and Tre Brown, further depleting their secondary. Both teams are hoping to capitalize on each other's defensive weaknesses, with the Falcons looking to maintain their offensive momentum led by Zac Robinson and Kirk Cousins. The game will be crucial for both teams, as the Falcons aim to solidify their position in the NFC with a 4-2 record against the 3-3 Seahawks. The matchup kicks off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.
