FLOWERY BRANCH – The Falcons were down four offensive starters for practice on Wednesday because of injuries.

Quarterback Matt Ryan (turf toe) has been ruled out of Sunday's game with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Running back Michael Turner (ankle sprain), wide receiver Michael Jenkins (ankle) and right guard Harvey Dahl (Achilles tendon and ankle) did not practice and are "day to day" for the Eagles game.

"We are hoping that (Turner) will be ready to go," Falcons coach Mike Smith said. "It's just a matter of how he feels. Mike came back very quickly from the ankle injury that he had and fell on it. It's just going to be a matter of if can get comfortable with it and get back out here."
