Falcons release Week 7 depth chart: New QB3 listed vs. 49ers

The Atlanta Falcons have unveiled their Week 7 depth chart ahead of their upcoming NFC showdown against the San Francisco 49ers. The notable change in the roster is the promotion of veteran Andy Dalton to the third-string quarterback position, replacing Cooper Rush. Dalton, a three-time Pro Bowler, was added to the roster on Monday, but head coach Kevin Stefanski did not provide specific details about his role or spot on the depth chart.

The 38-year-old will now be behind Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa in the backup quarterback order. The Falcons also made a roster move by signing edge rusher Charles Snowden on Tuesday, although the signing has not been officially announced yet, so Snowden is not listed on the Week 7 depth chart.
