Wide receivers Calvin Ridley (ankle) and Mohamed Sanu (knee) left the Falcons' Week 6 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to lower-body injuries. Both were held out of practice on Thursday.

The Falcons playing Monday night makes this a difficult situation to navigate. We could go into Sunday's games with one or both of Ridley and Sanu listed as game-time decisions. If that is the case, your best bet is to avoid them both and not take the risk. Austin Hooper, in particular, should benefit from an absence from either of the receivers. He is already our number eight tight end this week and could push a few spots higher with the projected increased opportunity he could see.

Looks like MRI on rookie Calvin Ridley's injured left ankle came back pretty clean. Believed to be just a bone bruise, according to source.

Twitter reports said Ridley was trying to run and cut on the sideline, so the injury didn't appear to be serious, however, Ridley never came back. As the rest of the tweet said, we'll see how Ridley responds to rehab. The Falcons playing the Giants next Monday night before the Falcons bye in Week 8. The Falcons could opt to rest him vs. Giants and let him have extra time to recover during bye week. With the game Monday night, Ridley may be a game-time call, so owners should have a backup plan.

Falcons WR Calvin Ridley left Week 6 with an ankle injury and won't return.

Butt has tweeted that Ridley was on the sideline trying to run and cut, however the team ruled him out. It at least could be a good sign about his future status that it may not be serious, but for this week he won't be back after a good start to the game.

Seahawks TE Nick Vannett had an obvious highlight with the third-down catch and then the touchdown on the first drive.

But HC Pete Carroll also raved about the play of Will Dissly, the fourth-round pick from Washington, who had two catches for 19 yards but more importantly has shown the team what it hoped he would in the blocking department.

Tyrone Swoopes has also had some nice moments in camp and the combination of those three playing well may mean the Seahawks won’t look to rush back Ed Dickson.

Dickson is our highest-rated Seattle TE (No. 27 TE), but as the story said, there is no planned return at this point for him. Vannett is next up and is our No. 49 ranked TE, but the TE position for the Seahawks isn't expected to be anything more than a TE2 value when Dickson takes over.

Falcons receiver Julio Jones didn’t show up for the team’s offseason program or mandatory minicamp, but he is working with Matt Ryan at the quarterback’s passing camp. Calvin Ridley posted a photo on Snapchat of 10 players posing with Ryan after a pre-camp workout.

The Falcons report to training camp July 26, and it remains to be seen whether Jones will show up. His contract has three years remaining. It averages $14.25 million, only eighth-highest at the position, and pays him a $10.5 million base salary this year.
