Series Falcons lead the series 6–5 after meeting No. 11 since 1999 Full series history
Atlanta's left tackle is expected to play through a groin injury on Sunday night, and Baltimore's two questionable starters should join him on the field.
San Francisco needed the spot to bring back Ogbo Okoronkwo, ending the four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher's stay after less than two weeks.
Atlanta will play Sunday night without its veteran edge rusher, who has concussion and neck injuries, and lost a linebacker to injured reserve on the eve of Baltimore's visit.
