Asamoah to return to practice
Falcons right guard Jon Asamoah, who didn’t play against the Saints because of a back injury, will return to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday, head coach Mike Smith said on Monday.
Asamoah was replaced in the lineup by Gabe Carimi.
The running backs found the most success running between center Jame Stone and Carimi as they gained 48 yards on six carries and rushed for a touchdown, according to profootballfocus.com.
Running back Steven Jackson (quadricep), safety William Moore (shoulder) and nickel back Josh Wilson (hamstring) all left the game and did not return. Smith did not have an update on their status for the Carolina game on Sunday.
