Falcons defensive tackle Marlon Davidson (knee strain) and left guard Matt Hennessy (knee) participated in practice Monday.

Defensive end Charles Harris was not seen during the open portion of practice..

Davidson, a second-round pick from Auburn this year, was out of practice since Aug. 20. Quinn said that it would probably take a couple of weeks for Davidson to get back into football game shape. He was projected to help on the defensive line.

Hennessy, who spent most of training camp working with the first-team offense, was injured in the third scrimmage Aug. 28. He was selected in the third round of the draft this year.
