Matt Ryan on thumb injury: ‘I’m good to go’

Sept 27, 2016

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, who leads the league with a passer rating of 119, will not miss any practice time with his injured left thumb.

“I’m good,” Ryan said Tuesday on his weekly radio show on 680 The Fan. “It just got banged up kind of in the pocket. I wanted to make sure so I threw a glove on there so I could have a good grip, but I feel good this morning.”

Ryan finished the game after the injury.

“I’m good to go,” Ryan said. “I’ll be ready to go out to practice on Wednesday.”

The Falcons (2-1) are set to face Carolina (1-2) at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Georgia Dome.
