Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant (turf toe) and left guard James Carpenter (knee) did not practice Thursday, according to the team’s official injury report.

Trufant worked off to the side with the training staff, which normally is the first step back to return to practice.

Fullback Keith Smith (knee) fully participated in practice.

Wide receiver Julio Jones (hip) was limited, cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson (groin), free safety Ricardo Allen (knee) and defensive end Adrian Clayborn (knee) were limited.
