FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Steven Means scooped up a loose ball and was ready to score when he got tackled from behind during the Falcons victory over New Orleans. He went down pretty hard and ended up missing the end of that dramatic affair against the rival Saints.
The effects of that play lingered just a little bit into Cowboys week, with the edge rusher limited in Wednesday's practice with a knee injury.
He wasn't the only Falcon dealing with injury. Tight end Lee Smith missed practice completely with a back injury and cornerback Kendall Sheffield wasn't working due to a hamstring issue.

Also, edge rusher Dante Fowler was back practicing after being designated to return to off reserve earlier Wednesday.
