Falcons coach Dan Quinn didn’t have a full injury report on Monday, but he did provide an update on cornerback Desmond Trufant, who suffered a lower back injury against Tampa Bay.

“Physically, he’s doing well,” Quinn said. “Hopefully, he’ll keep improving as the week goes on.”

Last week, wide receiver Nick Williams (hamstring), wide receiver Leonard Hankerson (hamstring) and safety William Moore (groin) all missed the Tampa Bay game.

Also, cornerback Robert Alford (groin) left the Tampa Bay game.

Center Mike Person (ankle), defensive tackles Paul Soliai (left hand) and Tyson Jackson (ribs) left the game, but returned to the action.
