Falcons tight end Logan Paulsen ruled out for Packers’ game

Falcons tight end Logan Paulsen (knee/ankle) was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Packers by coach Dan Quinn on Friday.

“He really busted his butt to get back in (the lineup),” Quinn said. “But he’s not there yet. I’m hopeful that as we get into Arizona (the following Sunday), that he’ll be good. I’ll take some reps from him likely on Wednesday, but he just couldn’t make it back this week.”

Paulsen has been used mostly as a blocking tight end this season. However, he has eight catches for 72 yards and a touchdown.

Kicker Matt Bryant (back) was listed as questionable on the team’s official injury report.
