Two Falcons missing from Thursday’s practice.
It’s officially the start of a new week, as the Atlanta Falcons begin practicing ahead of hosting the New York Giants on Sunday. This is going to be an important game for the Falcons, as quarterback Michael Penix will make his first career start. Hopefully, the team around him will be healthy. Let’s take a look.
You can expect to normally see the injury reports here every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday unless there’s a primetime game.

The Falcons did not hold an official practice on Wednesday, due to their short week after playing on Monday night, so they held a walkthrough instead. On Thursday, we received an actual practice report, and there aren’t too many surprises on the report. Keep an eye on KhaDarel Hodge, though, as he has been a playmaker on special teams and the Falcons need him. Also, kicker Younghoe Koo was placed on injured reserve with a hip injury, and Michael Penix favorite Casey Washington may be out.
As you can see, the Giants have a lot of injuries on their report. The most notable one to report is linebacker Brian Burns, who has ankle and neck injuries.
