FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke will go through pregame warmups Sunday on his injured left ankle before the franchise makes a decision whether or not he'll play in the regular season finale against the New Orleans Saints.

Heinicke, who has started the last two games for Atlanta, will officially be listed as questionable and both Heinicke and Falcons coach Arthur Smith said it will be closer to a game-time decision.

"I feel like I can go but again, it's just a weird deal when you're on your feet all day and that's where your injury is," Heinicke told ESPN on Friday.
