Falcons kicker Matt Bryant usually kicks about 12 balls from various distances and hash marks on a routine Friday practice.

He’s been out of practice all week with a back injury , but had a strong kicking session Friday inside the team’s practice barn, according to coach Dan Quin.

He’s listed as questionable on the injury report, but is expected to play against the Dolphins at 1 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (hamstring), linebacker Jermaine Grace (hamstring) and defensive tackle Courtney Upshaw (ankle) were declared out of the game by the Falcons.

Bryant, 42, has made all nine of his field-goal attempts and all 11 of his extra-point attempts this season, for 38 points.

If Byrant’s back flared up after the workout, the Falcons have Mike Meyer on the practice squad and can bring him up.

Meyer made 3 of 4 field-goal attempts, including a 53-yarder, while with the team during the exhibition season.
