Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski said Zachariah Branch (hamstring) will not play in Week 9 against the Bengals.

Branch suffered a hamstring injury in Week 8’s shutout loss to the Buccaneers and will miss next week’s game against the Bengals in Madrid. The rookie third-rounder has caught just 10 passes for 64 scoreless yards this season and has also served as the Falcons’ primary kick and punt returner.
