No real surprises from the Lions on today's inactive list. Defensive end Ikaika Alama-Francis is down, but that was expected as the Lions want to use Cliff Avril off the edge on turf against a pocket passer like Matt Ryan. Fellow defensive linemen Andre Fluellen and Landon Cohen are inactive, as are cornerback Ramzee Robinson, linebacker Gilbert Gardner and guard Manny Ramirez. Drew Stanton will dress as the third quarterback despite a cast on his right hand.

For the Falcons, new cornerback Domonique Foxworth will not play. Acquired earlier this week, Foxworth is still learning Atlanta's defense.
