FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Falcons were missing three prominent defenders during Wednesday's practice, which was reflected in the team's official participation report.
Edge rusher Ade Ogundeji and defensive backs Richie Grant and Fabian Moreau missed the session, which was no surprise. Head coach Arthur Smith alluded to that possibility during his press conference earlier on Wednesday, saying those three should be considered day-to-day.
Defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard returned to practice after missing time due to an ankle injury.
Offensive playmaker Cordarrelle Patterson received a veteran's rest day, which could end up a regular occurrence over the season's final weeks.
