Falcons coach Dan Quinn met with the media Wednesday.

He knows the Falcons can wrap up a playoff berth with a win over the Panthers at 4:25 p.m. Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

“We are really fired up for this opportunity in front of us,” Quinn said.

Falcons tight end Levine Toilolo will not practice today. He suffered a knee injury in the 23-13 loss to the Saints.

“Two others will participate in the walk-through, Julio Jones (thumb/ankle) and Wes Schweitzer,” Quinn said. “The rest of the team is in good health. Levine will be out today. Julio and Wes will participate in a small fashion. ”
