Dan Quinn announced on Thursday that LB Brooks Reed is now able to participate in practice following a groin procedure that kept him out since the third preseason game.
The Falcons signed Reed to a five-year contract in March, after a season where he helped the Houston Texans rank seventh in the NFL in scoring defense.
Quinn said the decision for Reed to play on Sunday versus the Cowboys will come after Thursday and Friday's practices. He also complimented Reed on his hard work in the rehab process.
Reed has tallied 214 total tackles over his career in addition to 14.
