FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Rick Nash Rangers Jersey . -- The Atlanta Falcons were looking for two new starters on Monday after losing defensive end Kroy Biermann and fullback Bradie Ewing to season-ending injuries. Biermann tore his right Achilles tendon and Ewing separated his left shoulder in Sundays 31-24 win over the St. Louis Rams. Coach Mike Smith said Monday each will be placed on the reserve injured list. "As I say many times, one mans misfortune is another mans opportunity and weve got some guys that we expect are going to step up and make some plays for us," Smith said. The loss of Biermann will lead to expanded roles for defensive ends Jonathan Massaquoi and rookie Malliciah Goodman. The versatile Biermann also played a linebacker position which had him dropping back in pass coverage. "Theres a role for a (backup) defensive end when Kroy was playing defensive end and theres a role for one of the (backup) linebackers," Smith said. "Weve put that in place from the very beginning. "As you know, your roster never stays the same from year to year and usually it doesnt stay the same from week to week. We will make the adjustments and move forward." Biermann was credited with two tackles before leaving the field on a cart late in the first half. Biermann, a fifth-round pick in 2008, has 16 1/2 career sacks, including 4 in 2012. Osi Umenyiora, an off-season free-agent signee from the Giants, is the teams other starting defensive end. Ewings injury will lead to more playing time for Jason Snelling, who ran for a touchdown against the Rams after starting running back Steven Jackson left the game with a thigh injury. Snelling has played fullback and running back in his seven seasons with the Falcons. "Jason has always stepped up whenever hes had an opportunity," Smith said. "I thought he did an outstanding job yesterday." Ewing did not have a carry but had one catch for 14 yards before hurting his shoulder in the first quarter. This is the second straight year Ewing has suffered a season-ending injury. His tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee before his 2012 rookie season. Smith said he met with Ewing on Monday morning. "Its tough because hes not been able to stay on the field," Smith said. "Hes had the knee injury last year and it ended with him going on reserve injured early. The same thing is happening this year. "As I told him hey, weve just got to get you healthy. March and April will roll around and well reconnect and get moving forward." The Falcons beat the Rams despite losing five starters with injuries: Biermann, Ewing, Jackson, linebacker Sean Weatherspoon (foot) and cornerback Asante Samuel (thigh). Samuel missed the opening game at New Orleans with a thigh injury. Backup defensive end Cliff Matthews returned after leaving with a neck injury. The Falcons had other injury concerns entering the game. Receiver Roddy White has been slowed by an ankle sprain since the third week of the preseason. His playing time has been limited in the first two regular-season games. Receiver Julio Jones (knee), offensive tackle Sam Baker (back) and defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux (knee) started against St. Louis after being listed as questionable. Smith, who normally gives injury updates on Wednesday unless a player suffers a season-ending injury, had no updates Monday on Jackson, Weatherspoon or Samuel. The Falcons play at Miami next Sunday.

After a lengthy wait, persistent rain finally forced the postponement of the Nationals game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday night. The teams, and a few thousand fans, waited nearly four hours from the 7:05 scheduled start time before an announcement was made shortly before 11 p.m. The game was rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader Sunday with the first game starting at 1:35 p.m. and the second at 7:05 p.m. Washington plays in St. Louis Monday night, while Miami hosts Philadelphia. Neither teams clubhouse was open to the media after the postponement was announced. "Id like to call it early and play a doubleheader. Its easier on everybody," Washington manager Davey Johnson said Saturday afternoon. "That said, well probably be here until 1 (a.m.)." Marlins manager Mike Redmond also said he expected that the teams would wait it out. "From what Ive heard, I think they want to play it tonight. Nobody really wants to play a doubleheader on our getaaway day. Wayne Gretzky Rangers Jersey. I think well sit this one out, wait it out and see what happens," he said. The details of the decision to wait nearly four hours, and then ultimately postpone the game, were not disclosed. The home team generally controls whether or not a game will start, but late in the season Major League Baseball and the umpires are part of the decision-making process. The Nationals have won 12 of 14 and began the day five games behind Cincinnati and Pittsburgh for two NL wild card spots. Pittsburgh defeated the Reds 4-2 Saturday night. The Marlins have lost six of seven. Miamis Tom Koehler (3-10, 4.51) opposes Dan Haren (9-13, 4.88) in the afternoon game, while Stephen Strasburg (7-9, 2.96), Saturday nights scheduled starter for Washington, faces Brian Flynn (0-2, 9.64) Sunday night. Strasburg will make his first start since Sept. 8. On Sept. 13, the day before his next scheduled start, he felt tightness in his right forearm, so his start was pushed back to this past Thursday. On Wednesday, Strasburg couldnt shake forearm tightness while trying to get loose for that start, so he was again pushed back, to Saturday.
