Stefanski: Jack Strand is not being ruled out for this game. #Falcons

What happened: Kevin Stefanski said Jack Strand has not been ruled out for Atlanta's next game, keeping him in the Week 2 mix. Strand was inactive for the Falcons' opener last week.

Why it matters: That keeps another option available as Atlanta works through its early quarterback depth chart. Any move from inactive to active would change the Falcons' game-day flexibility behind the starter.

What to watch: Atlanta's final injury report and game-day inactive list will show whether Strand is available to dress this weekend.
