The Atlanta Falcons returned to practice on Thursday in preparation for this weekend’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. After giving fans a scare by listing tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) as limited on Wednesday’s injury report, the team listed Pitts as a full participant on Thursday.
Falcons cornerback Antonio Hamilton (groin) was added to Thursday’s injury report as a limited participant. Linebacker Nate Landman was limited for the second day in a row. The Steelers had a more interesting day, adding quarterback Russell Wilson to their latest injury report.
Wilson is dealing with a calf injury and will be examined further by doctors, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told reporters. Thursday practice updates for both teams are listed below.
