For the first time this year Wade Phillips did not have to de-activate anybody because of injury with all 53 players practicing during the week, but the inactives are not a surprise.

Safety Mike Hamlin, linebacker Jason Williams, guard Montrae Holland, center Duke Preston, tackle Pat McQuistan, wide receiver Kevin Ogletree and linebacker Curtis Johnson will not play.

Williams' gameday spot was lost because of Allen Rossum's addition and with Ogletree down, Roy Williams is healthy enough to start and play a lot apparently. Phillips was worried about Williams on Friday morning but listed him as probable for the game. Roy Williams will wear extra protection for his ribs.

For the Falcons, safety William Moore, running back Jerious Norwood, safety Antoine Harris, fullback Ovie Mughelli, tackle Garrett Reynolds, guard Quinn Ojinnaka and defensive tackle Vance Walker are inactive.

Jason Snelling will start at fullback for Ovie Mughelli.

Glad Ovie is inactive today for the Falcons. Same with Norwood and his speed.

Ogletree down? As in hurt?

Down as in inactive... because Roy is healthy enough to play. No need to keep the scrub WR active then...

That's really how it reads but I just think he means that Ogletree being inactive means Roy will play.

Really poor wording.

Someday, when some of those guys are starters, we will look back and laugh remembering when they were game day inactives.

Hopefully with Ogletree inactive, Roy Williams doesn't re-injure his ribs and force us to play Hurd at length.

Nobody has been able to explain to me why it is that Jason Williams is not far enough along yet to contribute on special teams every week. I dont get it, does this guy have learning disabilities or something?

There is no room for him on the game day roster now.

He missed to much time with the injury.
