FLOWERY BRANCH -- Coach Dan Quinn says changes are being considered on Atlanta's offensive line.
This comes after Matt Ryan has been sacked six times in the last three Falcons' losses.
Quinn said Friday backup linemen Zane Beadles and Ty Sambrailo could have bigger roles as the Falcons try to find better protection for Ryan and improved run blocking.
The Falcons (4-7) ran for only 26 yards on 16 carries in their 31-17 loss at the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night. Atlanta was eliminated from the NFC South race and would need a dramatic turnaround to revive its fading wild-card hopes.
Both starting offensive guards and running back Devonta Freeman are on injured reserve. The Falcons also have lost both starting safeties for the season.
