There's just one week left in the 2024 NFL preseason before teams start gearing up for Week 1 of the regular season. The Atlanta Falcons take on the Jacksonville Jaguars this Friday at 7:00 p.m. ET inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
After trading for Matthew Judon and signing for Justin Simmons, fans can't wait to see the team's new-look defense. However, Judon and Simmons are unlikely to play in the preseason finale as it will likely feature mostly third-string players.
Even rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who is unlikely to play in the regular season, has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game. On Tuesday, the Falcons released a new depth chart that includes Judon and Simmons. Check it out below:
