Falcons injury report: Schweitzer out with concussion
Falcons reserve guard/center Wes Schweitzer has a concussion and did not practice Thursday, according to the team’s official injury report.

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle sprain), cornerback Desmond Trufant (turf toe), Brown (foot), Carpenter (knee) and tight end Jaeden Graham (knee) all were limited.
Along with Schweitzer, backup running back Ito Smith (neck) and defensive end John Cominsky (ankle) did not practice.
