Here are five things to know about the Falcons on Wednesday:

1. Practice. The 3-0 Falcons return to practice at 2:30 p.m. today. Before practice, Falcons Dan Quinn will have some injury updates and the official injury report will come out after practice.

2. Depth chart. The Falcons released their official depth chart for the Bills game .

3. Tickets available for Bills game. The Atlanta Falcons announced Tuesday single-game and standing room only tickets will be available for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis beginning Friday at 9 a.m. at the guest services desk inside Gate 2 of Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Each ticket will cost $57 without taxes and fees.

4. A look at the Bills. For some reason, Sean McDermott, who was Carolina's defensive coordinator, elected to cover Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones with a single player last season. Man-to-man against the league's top receiver is super aggressive and not highly advised.

5. Practice squad move. The Falcons signed wide receiver Reggie Davis to the practice squad. Davis tied with Marvin Hall for the lead with eight receptions in exhibition season. Hall had 151 yards receiving and Davis had 144.

He was claimed on waivers by Cleveland, but was inactive for the first two games before being released on Friday.

The Falcons practice squad is now full with 11 members.
