FLOWERY BRANCH — Four key Falcons starters did not practice Wednesday afternoon and another was limited.

Center Drew Dalman (ankle), linebacker Nate Landman (left knee), right tackle Kaleb McGary (right knee) and defensive tackle David Onyemata (ankle) missed practice.

Also, defensive end Calais Campbell and running back Cordarelle Patterson were given veteran rest days, and cornerbacks A.J. Terrell (concussion protocol) and Jeff Okudah were limited in practice. Both sustained injuries Sunday against the Jets. Terrell was wearing a non-contact jersey in practice.

“There are a couple of guys we’ll hold today,” said Smith before practice. “They still have a chance to play. Drew will be one of them. David, Kaleb and Nate. A.J. will be out there going through the protocol. For the most part, were in pretty good shape.”

Also, wide receiver Mack Hollins (ankle) practiced. He has not played since the Minnesota game Nov. 5.

“He was close last week,” Smith said.
