Falcons WR Harry Douglas inactive for Vikings
MINNEAPOLIS -- Falcons wide receiver Harry Douglas, who suffered a foot injury in the Tampa Bay game, was listed as questionable on the team's official injury report will be inactive for today's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Douglas, the team's No. 3 wide receiver, has 12 catches for 121 yards and one touchdown on the season. With Douglas out, Devin Hester will slide up into the No. 3 wide receiver slot.
Eric Weems and Courtney Roby will likely split duty as the team's number four wide receiver. Weems could also give the Falcons a return option if Devin Hester needs a break.
Wide receiver Roddy White (hamstring), Hester (ankle), running back Antone Smith (hamstring) and linebacker Prince Shembo (calf) were all listed as probable and will be active.
The other players declared inactive include: quarterback Sean Renfree, cornerback Javier Arenas, linebacker Tyler Starr, center Jeff Stone, tackle Ryan Schraeder and defensive tackle Cliff Matthews.
