We had a sliver of hope that Justin Simmons might suit up in Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but the veteran Atlanta Falcons safety was listed as doubtful for a reason.
With Simmons out, the Falcons are expected to turn to Richie Grant, who was a starter for long stretches over the past couple of years.
Atlanta's safety depth is otherwise decimated, with DeMarcco Hellams still on injured reserve... Today's depth options at safety are Kevin King... and practice squad elevation and cornerback Natrone Brooks.
The team likes Kevin King as a reserve cornerback/safety, and practice squad defender Demone Harris also being elevated as the Falcons try to corral a Buccaneers offense.
