We are trucking along as the Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers both held their second practices of the week. There were some injuries we were keeping an eye on following Wednesday’s practice, so we now have some information to report.
Let’s take a look!

Looking at the Falcons first, there were some positive updates following Thursday’s practice session. After not practicing on Wednesday due to a shoulder issue, corner A.J. Terrell was a full participant in Thursday’s practice. Additionally, right guard Chris Lindstrom, who is in concussion protocol, was able to practice limitedly on Thursday.
As of this writing there’s still no update on who will start against the Panthers on Sunday. Right now I would expect it to be Cooper Rush, and even though he’s able to practice fully, he’s still not 100%.
For the Panthers, there was only one, expected update. Tight end Darren Waller had a rest day on Wednesday, and he practiced fully.
