Atlanta's starting middle linebacker was limited, but he did return to practice Wednesday after being sidelined for the Falcons' win over the Jaguars in Week 15.
Right guard Chris Chester was the only Falcons player held out of Wednesday's practice. Chester has a shoulder injury and has been listed on the injury report for a few weeks, but it hasn't caused him to miss any time on Sundays. We'll keep an eye on Chester's status throughout the week.
Return specialist Devin Hester (toe), defensive tackle Grady Jarrett (shoulder), left tackle Jake Matthews (back) and nose tackle Paul Soliai (calf) were all limited in Wednesday's practice.
