Porter was listed as limited with a back injury in Friday’s practice. As he waits for an extension from the team, he’s the lone player with an injury designation this week for the black and gold.
The Falcons had a lengthier injury report, with cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. (Achilles) limited Friday and left tackle
