FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Falcons had three non-participants in practice on Thursday after just two players sat out Wednesday's practice.

Wide receiver Mohamed Sanu was downgraded from "limited" on Wednesday to "did not participate" on Thursday, as he is dealing with a hip injury that forced him to leave the Falcons' win against the Buccaneers in Week 6 early. The other two players who missed practice were Robert Alford and Matt Bryant, who also did not practice Wednesday.
