The Atlanta Falcons have released their first injury report for Monday's prime-time matchup against the New Orleans Saints, and unlike last week, it was a relatively short list. The Falcons listed just three players, including edge rusher Samson Ebukam, on their Thursday practice report.
Ebukam, who missed last week's win over the Green Bay Packers due to a hamstring injury, was a limited participant to begin the week, which bodes well for his potential return on Monday night.
Linebacker Divine Deablo was also limited on Thursday with a hamstring issue. Deablo has continued to thrive in Jeff Ubrich's defense this season, and we wouldn't worry too much about his status for Week 4.
Last but not least, Falcons defensive lineman Za'Darius Smith was
given a rest day and does not have an injury. Smith signed with Atlanta late in the offseason and has helped set the tone on the edge.
Check out the Falcons' full Thursday injury report for their Week 4 game against the Saints below.
