On By Littum

Happy Wednesday! Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings have both held their first practices of the week in what will be a very important NFC game this Sunday. We now have a first look at the health of both teams to start the week. Let’s take a look.

You can expect to see the damage reports here every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Looking at the Falcons, not a ton of note on Wednesday. The only thing of note is that defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro was named to return from injured reserve. Today was the first time Orhorhoro practiced with the team in over a month. Receiver Darnell Mooney continues to deal with an Achilles injury and was given a day of rest, but he should be ready to go Sunday.

The Vikings were without one of their starting corners to start the week when veteran Stephon Gilmore messed up practice with a hamstring injury. Hamstring injuries can be hard to predict, so Gilmore is definitely one to watch this week. In addition, the Vikings had a pair of linebackers limited Wednesday, with standout Andrew Van Ginkel battling a thigh injury.
