The Falcons is not going to have Pitts or Cordarrelle Patterson for this one, arguably their two prime playmakers on offense.

The Commanders will miss Dotson after he suffered a hamstring harm Sunday towards the Cowboys, however could have Curtis Samuel (sickness) accessible this week. Cam Sims is the highest receiver possibility to interchange Dotson on the depth chart.
