Falcons kicker Matt Bryant fully participated in practice Thursday for the first time since suffering a strained right hamstring, according to the team’s official injury report.

Bryant has been out since making a 56-yard field goal against the Buccaneers on Oct. 14.

“He’ll take his normal allotment,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said before practice. “Today is the day that he normally kicks. ... We’re going to give him a shot at it.”

Giorgio Tavecchio has handled place-kicking duties in the past three games.

Linebacker Foye Oluokun (elbow) also fully participated in practice.

Linebacker De’Vondre Campbell (calf), linebacker Bruce Carter (knee), linebacker Deion Jones (foot), free safety Damontae Kazee (shoulder), wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (hip) and defensive end Derrick Shelby (groin) were limited.
