Falcons wide receiver Roddy White suffered a hamstring injury and did not practice on Tuesday, but is expected to play against Tampa Bay on Thursday night.

Wide receiver Julio Jones (ankle), linebacker Prince Shembo (knee) and left tackle Jake Matthews (ankle) were listed on the injury report but participated in all of practice.

“It’s not important for Roddy to practice,” Falcons coach Mike Smith said. “We’d like for Roddy to practice, but it’s all about getting Roddy on a short week … ready for Thursday. Our goal is to have Roddy as healthy as he can be for the ball game on Thursday night.”
