He's been at practice this week so he's good to go.

Looks like Ian Book is active for the game.

Bingo. That means Book will be acting as backup and Taysom at his regular joker position. I'm kind of surprised, but Payton must have more confidence in ALL of his QB's than I had expected.

It's silly to be surprised by this. Taysom Hill is a great athlete that can do many things well. Siemian and Book are strictly Quarterbacks. That's their specific role. Payton's choices here are obvious.

Please don’t cover TE Kyle Pitts the traditional way with a safety or LB. He’s their best receiving option so don’t hesitate to put Lattimore on him the way Carolina put Stephon Gilmore on Pitts.

My favorite quote from the Falcon faithful so far ...

"I think it will be close but we lose. 35-10".
