GLENDALE, Ariz. - The Atlanta Falcons have announced that defensive lineman David Onyemata will be inactive for their Week 10 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The decision was made 90 minutes before kickoff at State Farm Stadium.

Onyemata's absence comes as a result of an ankle injury that had him listed as questionable leading up to the game. He was unable to participate in Wednesday's practice and was limited in Thursday and Friday's sessions. This setback comes after a remarkable performance in Week 9, where Onyemata recorded a sack, a forced fumble, and a career-high 10 tackles.

Joining Onyemata on the inactive list are cornerback Dee Alford and wide receiver Mack Hollins. Both players had already been ruled out due to ankle injuries. Alford was only able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday and missed sessions on both Wednesday and Friday. Hollins, on the other hand, was unable to practice at all during the week.

In preparation for Sunday's game, the Falcons elevated wide receiver Frank Darby and defensive lineman Timmy Horne from the practice squad, filling the void left by Hollins and Onyemata, respectively. The team made this announcement on Saturday, making the recent roster changes more clear.

Other Week 10 inactives for the Falcons include offensive lineman Jovaughn Gwyn, defensive linemen Travis Bell and Joe Gaziano. These players will not participate in the game against the Cardinals.

As part of the team's emergency plan, Logan Woodside will serve as the Falcons' emergency third quarterback. However, he will only enter the game if both Taylor Heinicke and Desmond Ridder are unable to take the field. In the event that either quarterback is cleared to return, Woodside must immediately be replaced.

The Falcons will face off against the Cardinals at 4:05 p.m. ET, with live coverage provided by CBS.
