The Atlanta Falcons needed a Week 5 bye week, as it turns out. Had they been playing a game this past weekend, they likely would’ve been without Julio Jones, Ryan Schraeder, Ricardo Allen, Mohamed Sanu, and Courtney Upshaw, and that would have been a lot to overcome.
Now, per Dan Quinn, the Falcons are pretty damn close to healthy, minus the unfortunate loss of Jack Crawford. As far as we know, only Mohamed Sanu wasn’t ready to practice today, which means Schraeder, Allen, Julio and Upshaw were all back in action, and Vic Beasley must be getting close.
