FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – Falcons linebacker LaRoy Reynolds will return to practice this week after suffering a chest injury that placed him on short-term injured reserve to start the season.
The earliest Reynolds could return to game action is Week 9, when the Falcons travel to Charlotte to take on the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 5 for their first division game of the season.
At that point, Reynolds would either need to return to the active roster or he will be placed on IR for the remainder of the season.
Reynolds is one of Atlanta’s special teams’ aces and he also provides depth at linebacker.
