ATLANTA FALCONS NEWS

Makes 14 starts in 2020 Mack (concussion), who sat out Atlanta's final two games to close out the regular season, started 14 games in 2020.

Impact A concussion held the six-time Pro Bowler out Week 16 at Kansas City, while a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list heading into Week 17 precluded any opportunity of Mack returning for the season finale at Tampa Bay. The 35-year-old center has suited up for 78 of a possible 80 games since joining the Falcons in 2016, but his future in Atlanta remains tentative with his contract set to expire in March.

Starts at center Weeks 16 and 17 Hennessy registered his second consecutive start during Atlanta's 44-27 Week 17 loss to the Buccaneers, concluding his 2020 campaign with 13 game appearances.

Impact With Alex Mack (concussion/illness) ruled out for Weeks 16 and 17, Hennessy logged the first two starts of his NFL career. The Temple standout joined Atlanta as a third-round draft choice in last April's draft, and he could inherit a more integral role in 2021, given that Mack will become an unrestricted free agent in March.

Suits up for 16 games in 2020 Matthews logged his 16th start of the season during Atlanta's 44-27 Week 17 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Matthews again proved to be durable during his seventh pro campaign out of Texas A&M, fielding 100 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps in 15 of 16 games. He enjoyed a relatively clean 2020, going without a holding penalty while drawing only two false start flags all season. The 28-year-old is under contract for three more seasons at an average cap hit of $19.4 million, as the Falcons' front five aims to improve upon a turbulent campaign. Atlanta ranked 31st at just 3.7 yards per carry as a team, finishing tied for 23rd with 41 sacks allowed.
