Falcons Term DE John Abraham Questionable For NFC Championship

Found January 18, 2013 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: John Abraham,  Jonathan Babineaux,  Stephen Nicholas,  William Moore
TEAMS: Atlanta Falcons
4d
Atlanta Falcons defensive end John Abraham was on the practice field for a third straight day on Friday, though the team has still listed him as questionable on the final injury report for this weekend's NFC Championship Game matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Abraham left last Sunday's victory over Seattle in the Divisional Round during the second quarter after aggravating an existing left ankle injury. Head coach Mike Smith said after the game that the veteran pass rusher was held out for precautionary reasons, however, and Abraham has been a limited practice participant all throughout this past week. Defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux is questionable as well due to a shoulder issue, though he also put in a third straight limited practice on Friday. Linebacker Stephen Nicholas (foot), safety William Moore (hand) and cornerback Chris Owens (hamstring) are all probable to face the 49ers in Sunday's conference title game. Source: Sports Network

Via The Saints Nation  |  January 19, 2013
For me the playoffs have come down to rooting against the Atlanta Falcons and being satisfied with whatever other possible combination of results happen.
