Falcons inactives: Is Kyle Pitts playing vs. Bucs in Week 15?
The Atlanta Falcons have listed their inactives ahead of tonight's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and tight end Kyle Pitts is officially active despite being listed as questionable on the team's final injury report.
After Bijan Robinson fumbled on the Falcons' previous possession, he scored a touchdown to get his team back in the game.
The Buccaneers fell to 7-7, a half-game behind the Carolina Panthers in the NFC South. It has been a tough time for Cousins, who was benched last season and lost his job. He got it back due to a season-ending knee injury to Penix. He had been written off at age 37. But for one night at least, the Falcons looked smart for keeping him on the roster.
Prior to the Falcons' Thursday Night Football road game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Amazon Prime Video host Charissa Thompson asked NFL Network's Ian Rapoport about whether there will be any changes this offseason, and he provided this response, specifically mentioning head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot in his answer.
