Dolphins
- Dolphins DE Andre Branch (knee) returned to practice on Thursday for the first time in a week. A prior report mentioned that Branch was expected to miss 2-4 weeks with his knee injury.
Falcons
Falcons HC Dan Quinn said of RB Devonta Freeman‘s Week 5 status: “He’s going to play.”
This doesn’t come as a big surprise, considering that Freeman told reporters on Wednesday that he’s “comfortable enough” to play this weekend.
“I’m in-tune with my body and myself, so I know when I can be me,” Freeman said. “Just getting back out there when I’m comfortable enough. I think right now, I’m comfortable enough to get out there. I feel good. I feel explosive. I’m ready to run.”
