Devin Hester remains out of practice, putting his status for Monday night’s game with the Philadelphia Eagles in serious doubt. There was some positive news to take from the Atlanta Falcons’ practice on Friday, however.
According the injury report on the official Atlanta Falcons website, Devonta Freeman, Jake Matthews, Joplo Bartu and Robenson Therezie were all upgraded to full participation after being limited on Thursday. Below is the full injury report from Friday’s practice.
Joplo Bartu (quad, full participation)
Devonta Freeman (hamstring, FP)
Devin Hester (toe, did not participate)
Jake Matthews (back, FP)
Brooks Reed (groin, DNP)
Robenson Therezie (groin, FP)
Roddy White (elbow, FP)
Matthews’ return as a full participant is particularly encouraging as the Falcons will need all of their starters along the offensive line to be active and healthy against the Eagles.
