FLOWERY BRANCH -- Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan continued to contend that he's 100 percent healthy on Wednesday.

"I feel great," Ryan said. "I'm fine."

But it's pretty clear from the photo that he at least has a cut on his elbow.

The severity of the cut has not been addressed. He's not been listed on the injury report all season and was not on Wednesday's report.

After a hot start to the season, Ryan has cooled down. He's thrown four interceptions over the past three games and the offense was held to a season-low 10 points by Tennessee.
