Falcons QB Ryan Grounded Again?
Still suffering from a turf toe injury, Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan could miss another game.
According to the AP, Ryan went through a “walkthrough” but was absent from the bulk of practice on Thursday leading to speculation that he wouldn’t play in Atlanta’s game against the New Orleans Saints this week — the Falcons are big 10.5-point ‘dogs.
Atlanta head coach Mike Smith refused to officially rule Ryan out of Sunday’s game however.
“He did more today than he did yesterday. We would make an announcement if we knew for sure he wouldn’t play. We’re not ready to make that announcement,” Smith told the AP.
While the Falcons are only 1-8 SU in their last nine when underdogs of more than 8-points, they are also 6-3 ATS.
