Falcons starting left guard Andy Levitre, who has a triceps injury, is expected to return to practice, while running back Tevin Coleman remains in the NFL concussion protocol, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said on Tuesday.

“We’ll likely see (Andy) Levitre getting some work heading into this week,” Quinn said. “I’ll give you an update on him (Wednesday) and where we’ll go. ... There’s no change in the status of Tevin Coleman at the moment. I’ll give you an update on him as it goes through the week.”

Quinn said the Falcons did not suffer any major injuries in the 24-21 win over Tampa Bay on Monday night. However, wide receiver Justin Hardy left the locker room with a big ice pack on his right shoulder.
