The Falcons have two quarterbacks (Cooper Rush and Jack Strand) and two running backs (Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson) on the game-day roster for Sunday's regular-season opener.

Skule (oblique) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Skule was listed as doubtful after being limited in practice all week. The 29-year-old lineman appeared in 16 games with the Vikings last season, making nine starts. He has 82 career regular-season games of experience.

Dunker (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Dunker was a third-round pick out of Iowa earlier this year but will begin his career behind Ryan McCollum and Brock Hoffman as the top reserves on the interior of the offensive line.

Trapilo (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Trapilo has been working through a patellar knee injury since January. He was limited in all three practice sessions this past week, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery to be active. Trapilo's next chance to suit up is Week 2 against the Vikings on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Rubio (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

The sixth-round rookie is a healthy inactive to begin his pro career. He played 95 snaps across defense and special teams during the preseason, generating a pair of quarterback pressures.

Endries (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Bucs.

The tight end is buried on the depth chart behind Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample and Erick All. Endries did earn a roster spot out of training camp after getting picked in the seventh round by the Bengals back in April.

Brailsford (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Brailsford was limited in practice all week before being listed as questionable to face Jacksonville. The fifth-round rookie has been dealing with a thumb issue for more than a month.

Koziol (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Koziol, the Jaguars' fifth-round pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, will be a healthy inactive for Week 1, so his next chance to make his regular-season debut is Week 2 against the Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 20. Brenton Strange, Quintin Morris and rookie second-rounder Nate Boerkircher will be Jacksonville's active tight ends against Cleveland.

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive as the emergency third quarterback for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Spencer Rattler kept his gig as the QB2 behind Tyler Shough this summer, leaving Wilson as the emergency option entering the season. Wilson appeared in four games with the Dolphins last season, completing six of 11 passes for 32 yards.

Stewart (knee) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers.

The defensive end logged a full practice Wednesday, a limited session Thursday and entered the weekend with a doubtful designation. Stewart missed training camp and the preseason after hyperextending his knee in late July, though he returned to practice in early September. It appears that he needs a little more time before he plays in a regular-season game.
