Falcons injury report: Updates on Chris Lindstrom, Ruke Orhorhoro

The Atlanta Falcons listed 10 players on their Wednesday injury report but the team is trending in the right direction as the week goes on. Right guard Chris Lindstrom (knee) returned to the practice field on Thursday after sitting out to begin the week.

Linebackers Troy Andersen (knee) and center Drew Dalman (ankle) were limited for the second consecutive day. Safety Justin Simmons (hamstring), and cornerback Antonio Hamilton (back) were full participants on Thursday.

Rookie defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro (ankle) was held out for the second straight practice. Head coach Raheem Morris said Orhorhoro’s status doesn’t look great for Week 9.
