Roddy White said fellow Falcons wide receiver Harry Douglas could be back in the lineup next week after missing the past three games with a foot injury.
Douglas did not practice Wednesday and Thursday. Coach Mike Smith said there’s no timetable for his return.
“We are missing him a whole lot and his ability to kind of control the middle of the field,” White said. “Hopefully, we can get him back this week (or) if not, next week. We’ll be a lot better team.”
Douglas ran routes at half-speed on Thursday before working with the training staff. He hasn’t practiced since participating on a limited basis the Friday prior to the Vikings game on Sept. 28.
Three Falcons players participated fully in practice on Thursday after being limited previously: defensive end Jonathan Babineaux (knee), guard Justin Blalock (back) and linebacker Nate Stupar (knee).
Three players remained limited in practice on Thursday: linebacker Prince Shembo (knee) and wide receivers Devin Hester (hamstring) and Julio Jones (ankle).
