The Atlanta Falcons are set to make a switch at quarterback, as third-round rookie Desmond Ridder will take over from Marcus Mariota for the team's Week 15 game against the New Orleans Saints.
With Atlanta on a bye this week, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that the 23-year-old will be given more practice time to fully immerse himself with the team's offensive unit ahead of their next game on December 18.
