Falcons strong safety Kemal Ishmael (concussion) was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers, according to coach Dan Quinn. In other injury news, Matt Bosher’s 21-day workout period from injured reserve will begin today.
Bosher was on the injured reserved with a designation to return list after suffering a groin injury.
“In our weekly designated for return question, we do have one,” Quinn said. “(Punter) Matt Bosher’s window has opened for return to play. The earliest he would be able to play would be Carolina (on Dec. 8).”
The Falcons have had five punters on the roster this season. Currently, Ryan Allen is handling the punting duties.
Bosher, who suffered a right groin injury, was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 5. Bosher played in the first two games of the season. He was inactive against the Colts in Week 3 with a groin injury, and Matt Wile was on the roster for that game. Wile punted in two games.
Other punters on the roster this season included Kasey Redfern, Matt Wile and Sam Irwin-Hill, but the Australian-born punter had issues with a work visa and never punted in a game.
