Falcons elevate Jammie Robinson and T.J. Quinn for Chiefs game, Deablo downgraded to out

The Atlanta Falcons made two practice-squad elevations ahead of their Week 10 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, bringing safety Jammie Robinson and linebacker T.J. Quinn to the game-day roster, the team announced on Saturday.

Robinson’s elevation marks the third time Atlanta has moved him from the practice squad to the active game-day roster this season. With the NFL’s elevation limit, the Falcons would need to sign him to the active roster for him to appear in any additional games after this week.

The Falcons also downgraded inside linebacker Divine Deablo to out. Deablo was listed doubtful on Friday after working through a forearm injury that caused him to miss Atlanta’s prior home game against the 49ers.

Deablo suited up in the Falcons’ game the week before against the Bengals in Madrid, but the Falcons said he only participated in one practice session (Wednesday) after that, before the later downgrade.

The elevation decisions come as Atlanta has been adjusting defensive depth. Jessie Bates III was traded at the deadline earlier in the week, and the Falcons said DeMarcco Hellams is expected to start at safety alongside Xavier Watts. Atlanta also noted linebacker Josh Woods is dealing with an ankle injury and is listed as questionable.
