CB Benjamin St-Juste (concussion protocol) - DNP
LT Charles Leno Jr. (vet day off) - DNP
RG Brandon Scherff (chest) - DNP
DE Matt Ioannidis (knee) - limited
Benjamin St-Juste:
Something to monitor for Sunday in Atlanta. Torry McTyer showed out in training camp/preseason, but he's played only 13 defensive snaps this season. And Darryl Roberts has yet to be active for a game.https://t.co/BVhG5XCJ8U

Curtis Samuel:
Rivera said Samuel looked good, but noted Washington has 21 days to activate him. As always, it's about how Samuel responds the next day.

Rivera said Curtis Samuel looked good, but said they have time to decide if to activate him or not. Said Samuel "showed his speed". Also said they'd increase his work tomorrow. Rivera: "He's an impact player, the kind of guy you want on the field."

Dyami Brown:
Rivera said Dyami Brown is learning and growing. As a rookie, there’s still some things he needs to learn, but they want to get him more involved. They need to throw him the ball, but he also needs to catch it, Rivera said.

Falcons HC Arthur Smith:
Rivera can see Arthur Smith tying to implement the same mentality and philosophy that he was part of in Tennessee. It’s a tough football team, he said.

Matt Ryan:
Rivera said Washington's defense has to be careful not to "tip their hand" against quarterback Matt Ryan. Rivera praised the Falcons passer, noting he's a former MVP.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) September 29, 2021
Rivera sees Matt Ryan making all the throws despite getting a little older. With age, he added, comes veteran experience.

Taylor Heinicke/Kyle Allen:
Ron Rivera says he had never thought about replacing QB Taylor Heinicke. Ron also says he doesn’t want Heinicke looking over his shoulder so he’s going to stick with Taylor. #WashingtonFootball pic.twitter.com/DXzIiVV58J

Ron Rivera says Washington isn’t considering pulling Taylor Heinicke for Kyle Allen. Rivera said he’s not scared to play Allen but it’s Heinicke’s job for now

Rookie development:
Rivera said that he has seen some growth from his young players. He mentioned that Davis has done some nice things over the past two games and he feels like Cosmi has shown he can play right tackle in the league. #WashingtonFootball #NFL @SportsJourney
