We are inching closer and closer to the divisional matchup of the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The Falcons will play host in a game that will start the tone of the season for both of these teams. Today was the second practice of the week for both teams, and there’s a few injuries we have been keeping our eyes on. So let’s look at the updated injury reports following Thursday’s practices.

Reviewing both injury reports from Thursday’s practices, we received a few updates. Looking at the Falcons first, there were no changes to those listed on Wednesday’s injury report. We did have two names added—receiver Ray-Ray McCloud and corner A.J. Terrell, but this is nothing to be concerned about, since it was just for rest. There was some news on receiver Darnell Mooney who has been practicing on a limited basis the last two days, as Mooney is considered a true game-time decision.
For Tampa, there were a few updates. Linebacker Haason Reddick, who missed Wednesday’s practice due to a personal matter, logged a full practice. Tight end Cade Otton who was limited with a groin issue was able to also get a full practice in. And finally, veteran receiver Mike Evans was added to the injury report, but it was purely for rest and not injury related.
