By Phil Watson
The Atlanta Falcons came into Sunday’s game with three wide receivers on the injury report, but only one of them is among the inactives against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Atlanta Falcons went two for three on injured wide receivers for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.
Harry Douglas had been ruled out with a foot injury, but Julio Jones (ankle) and Devin Hester (hamstring) will play as Atlanta tries to snap a three-game losing streak.

Jones leads the Falcons with 69 targets, 44 receptions and 620 receiving yards and is tied for the team lead with Antone Smith with three receiving touchdowns.
The Falcons were 2-1 after a Thursday night blowout of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 18, but have followed that up with three straight double-digit losses—at Minnesota, at the New York Giants and at home to the Bears.
With Douglas out, Hester will likely get the snaps when the Falcons go to their three-wide receiver sets.
For the Ravens, Owen Daniels had been on the injury report for non-injury reasons and he is active. With Dennis Pitta out for the year with a hip injury, Daniels has emerged as Joe Flacco’s favorite target in the middle of the field with 27 targets and 21 receptions for 217 yards and two touchdowns this season.
