The Atlanta Falcons are trending in the right direction as they prepare for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Seven players, including center Ryan Neuzil, were limited on the team’s Thursday injury report.
Neuzil, who missed Wednesday’s practice due to a knee injury, would likely be replaced by Matt Hennessy in Week 8 if he’s unable to play. Safety Justin Simmons (hamstring) was limited for the second day in a row while running back Bijan Robinson was also limited for rest.
Linebackers Nate Landman (shoulder) and Troy Andersen (knee) were both limited for the second consecutive practice. Check out Atlanta’s updated Thursday injury report below:
