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

Schweitzer has been a valuable backup this season because of injuries to Chris Lindstrom, Jamon Brown and James Carpenter. Schweitzer has played in all eight games and has made two starts this season.

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.
