The Falcons release the inactive list ahead of Week 4's NFC South rivalry between Atlanta and New Orleans

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – After excluding right tackle Kaleb McGary from Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints at Mercedes-Benz Stadium a few days ago, the Falcons released their inactive list before the game, which, as expected, included McGary .

McGary (knee) and center Drew Dalman (ankle) suffered injuries in the Falcons' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday. Dalman was placed on injured reserve, but the Falcons did not do the same for McGary, opting to provide him with more day-to-day care during his recovery.

Storm Norton is expected to start at right tackle, while Ryan Neuzil will fill in for Dalman at center.

To bolster the depth of the offensive line, the Falcons signed veteran inside linebacker Elijah Wilkinson from the practice squad. They also signed guard/center Matt Hennessy to the practice squad. The Falcons took advantage of a standard practice squad raise on Hennessy, opting to place him on the active roster in place of Jovaughn Gwyn, who was listed as inactive Sunday.

In other inactive news, the Falcons retained rookie running back Jase McClellan and defensive linemen Ruke Orhorhoro and Brandon Dorlus as healthy scratches for the fourth time this year.

As for the Saints, they will be without wide receiver AT Perry, guard/center Cesar Ruiz and linebacker Demario Davis, who were ruled out for Sunday's game. Although running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Chris Olave appear on the injury report this week, they will play against the Falcons.

Here is the complete list of inactive Falcons ahead of the Week 4 matchup:
