Snelling suffered a hamstring injury in the Dallas game, but head coach Mike Smith did not have to issue an official injury report, per league rules, until Thursday.
It was the latest blow for the Falcons, who are hoping to get running backs Ovie Mughelli (calf) and Jerious Norwood (right hip flexor) back for the Saints game on Monday night in New Orleans.
Snelling started the last two games for Mughelli and also played some at running back for Michael Turner.
He had a big 31-yard gain against Dallas and rushed for 68 yards on seven carries.
Snelling's injury also led to the Falcons signing running back Aaron Stecker on Tuesday.
