The Atlanta Falcons are the only NFC South team that put out an injury report Tuesday. That’s because they play a Thursday night game with Jacksonville.

The list is pretty lengthy and some guys are on it because they were either resting or dealing with a flu-like condition that seems to be sweeping through Flowery Branch.

So let’s try to cut to the chase and address the injuries that really could matter Thursday.

Defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux (ankle) did not practice. Add him to a list of defensive players who have been injured for some time. That includes cornerback Brent Grimes (knee), linebacker Stephen Nicholas (quadriceps) and cornerback Kelvin Hayden (toe) and the Falcons could have to tap even more into their depth on defense.

Three key offensive players also did not practice Tuesday and each of them has a groin injury. Running back Michael Turner, receiver Harry Douglas and offensive lineman Will Svitek all sat out Tuesday.

Receiver Julio Jones (back) practiced on a limited basis.
