TEAMS: Atlanta Falcons, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Atlanta Falcons have already ruled out safety William
Moore for today’s regular season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while
they have wide receiver Roddy White and defensive lineman Jonathan Babineaux
listed among those questionable to play.
Moore missed practice all week due to his hamstring injury
and will not play today. Cornerback Chris Owens is also out due to a hamstring
injury.
Atlanta has four others listed on their injury report as
questionable to suit up against the Bucs, but all could be held out of the
contest considering the Falcons have already clinched home field advantage
through the playoffs.
White is still hampered by a knee injury, but he would
likely play if today’s game were meaningful. Beyond White, Babineaux (ribs),
and fellow defensive linemen Cliff Matthews (hamstring) and Corey Peters (knee)
are questionable to play against Tampa Bay.

Fantasy Football: Week 17 Injury Update (T-Rich/Gronk/MJD)
Roddy White: Are you crazy? I don’t care if he doesn’t practice all week or is reported to have a hard cast around his knee. He’s clearly going to play, if the last two weeks are any indication, and you have to treat this like we treated Calvin Johnson’s knee injury: they’re resting him so he’s ready to go come Sunday.
