Marcus Mariota is expected to undergo knee surgery and be placed on the injured reserve list
Smith reiterated that Mariota’s knee injury had nothing to do with why Ridder was chosen to start this Sunday against the Saints. The coach said the rookie was going to get the starting role no matter what the circumstances.
“I’m not a medical expert, I’m just telling you that it had nothing to do with the decision,” Smith said. The Falcons, who are 5–8 this season, are coming off a bye week. Ridder has not yet made his NFL debut, meaning Sunday will be the first time he plays a snap in a regular season game. The team trails the Buccaneers by one game in the NFC South.
