The Falcons’ list of injured players grew Wednesday, when starting left guard Wes Schweitzer missed the first practice of the week with a back issue.
Wide receiver Julio Jones (ribs/hip) and running back Tevin Coleman (groin) also did not practice, as head coach Dan Quinn suggested Monday they would not this week.
They’re expected to keep getting some work in walk-throughs before Sunday when the Falcons (6-9) wrap up the season against the Buccaneers (5-10).
Starting middle linebacker Deion Jones (foot) and reserve tight end Logan Paulsen (knee/ankle) were limited in their practice participation and right tackle Ty Sambrailo (foot) was a full participant.
Schweitzer has played in all 15 games, and started the past 13 since Andy Levitre suffered a season-ending triceps injury in the second game, a win over the Panthers.
He started all 16 games and both playoff games last season at right guard.
