Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was back at practice Wednesday after missing Tuesday’s practice to attend to a personal matter.

“He’s here today, and we’re back getting out things going and our preparation, so I won’t address the topic with you guys. That is Matt’s story to tell,” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. “I did want to make sure that you knew he was back in action today.”

Ryan was in the building Tuesday before leaving for his personal matter. He got the game plan and just missed the physical portion of practice.

The Falcons don’t plan to adjust their practice schedule to have Ryan get the repetitions that he missed.

“For you guys that have been around Matt, he’s one of the very best competitors and most professional ballplayers that I’ve been around,” Quinn said. “No adjustment for that. We’ll go right through. ... We are fortunate that he’s back here today and back into. No setbacks for him or for us. We are ready to keep rocking and rolling with our preparation.”
