The Falcons could be down two cornerbacks for the season opener against Seattle at 1 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Cornerback Kendall Sheffield, who was seen with a walking boot on his left foot Tuesday, did not practice and was listed with a foot injury on the first official injury report of the season. Cornerback Jordan Miller already is out serving the final three games of a four-game suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs.

Also, defensive end Charles Harris (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Defensive end Dante Fowler (ankle), center/left guard Matt Hennessy (right knee) fully participated in practice. Wide receiver Russell Gage (groin) and defensive tackle Marlon Davidson (knee strain) were limited in practice.
