FLOWERY BRANCH — Quarterback Taylor Heinicke, who guided the Falcons to a 29-10 victory over the Colts on Sunday, was limited in practice Wednesday because of an ankle injury, according to the team’s official injury report.
Heinicke played all 64 snaps in the game against the Colts, and no injury was announced during the game. Also, Smith didn’t mention the quarterback when asked for injury updates Monday and Wednesday before practice.
Heinicke took over for Desmond Ridder at quarterback after the loss to the Panthers the previous Sunday.
In addition to Heinicke, outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter (neck), right guard Chris Lindstrom (ankle), center Drew Dalman (ankle), left tackle Jake Matthews (knee), right tackle Kaleb McGary (knee) and defensive tackle David Onyemata (ankle) all were limited.
Running back Cordarrelle Patterson and defensive end Calais Campbell did not practice, as they received veteran rest days.
