FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons wrapped up its week of practices on Friday, and their final injury report provides the clearest look yet at which players might not be available for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys in Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
After beginning the week with eight players either limited or held out because of an injury, the Falcons got healthier as the week progressed. Atlanta still had eight players listed as limited or non-participants on Friday, but five of those were designated as such because of rest days, not because of ailments. Those three players were safety Justin Simmons, who logged his second limited practice due to a hamstring injury, and rookie linebacker JD Bertrand and rookie defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro. The two rookies have officially been declared out for Sunday, due to a concussion and ankle injury, respectively.
Simmons does not have a game designation, so he is presumably set to go against Dallas. There are, however, three players listed as questionable for the game: linebacker Troy Andersen, guard Chris Lindstrom and center Drew Dalman. All three players were full participants on Friday, which is a positive indicator.
