Atlanta Falcons starting lineups for Week 6 game vs. Chicago Bears

The Atlanta Falcons prepare to face the Chicago Bears in NFL Week 6, aiming to regain momentum after their overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Quarterback Caleb Williams, who was questionable due to a hamstring injury, is expected to play after missing the previous two games. Second-string quarterback Michael Penix Jr., however, did not receive an injury designation and will not have any restrictions in the upcoming game.

Defensively, the Falcons will be without cornerback A.J. Terrell, who is on the injured reserve list, and rookie Avieon Terrell, who will also miss the game due to a groin injury. Mike Hughes and cornerback Mike Hughes will have to cover one of the most explosive offenses in football. Edge rusher Za Darius Smith, listed as questionable with a neck injury, may also be unavailable.

The Falcons' offensive lineup will feature Michael Penix Jr. at quarterback, Bijan Robinson at running back, Drake London, Jahan Dotson and Oleamide Zaccheaus at wide receiver positions, and Kyle Pitts and Charlie Woerner at tight end. On defense, the team will rely on Cameron Thomas, Maason Smith and LaCale London at defensive end, Divine Deablo and Kendal Daniels at inside linebacker, and Avieon Terrell and Mike Hughes at cornerback.

Special teams will be led by Nick Folk, Jake Bailey and Liam Mccullough as kickers, and Brian Robinson and Zachariah Branch at punt returner and kick returner, respectively.
