Alford will not practice today, Oliver would start in his place

Falcons cornerback Robert Alford, who suffered an ankle injury in the last game against the Giants, will work off to the side with the trainers again on Thursday, according to coach Dan Quinn.

Rookie Isaiah Oliver would start in his place if he can’t play against the Redskins at 1 p.m. Sunday at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.

#Falcons not ready to rule out PK Matt Bryant yet. He will work off to the side today.

#Falcons Coach Dan Quinn said he will take another chance at Deion Jones returning to practice next week. He's meeting all of his markers. Pain. Speed and Change of Direction.
