Week 9 is here, and it’s now officially the start of a new week. The Atlanta Falcons are looking to move on from their most recent, embarrassing loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 8.

Looking at the Falcons first, you’ll notice quite a few notable names on the list. It sounds like the team is hopeful that they will be getting EDGE Jalon Walker back this week, with news today that when healthy, he is expected to play a little more inside linebacker. Safety Jessie Bates III is new to the report, as he deals with a knee injury. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. missed Week 8 due to his knee injury, with news that he was limited on Wednesday, we will keep an eye on that to see if he progresses during the week. Storm Norton, however, is trending to come back.

The Patriots have a few notables who were limited, but the biggest news for them is running back Rhamondre Stevenson missing practice with a toe injury.
