The Falcons’ season is rapidly going down the tubes, but there is one piece of positive news heading into Sunday’s battle with the Seahawks.

Atlanta receiver Roddy White, who has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, expects to play on Sunday. White told the team’s website, “I’m pretty sure I’ll be out there.”

Like his team, White has had a very disappointing season. Even in the five games he has played, he’s been at less than full speed, and he has a total of 14 catches for 129 yards and no touchdowns this year.

With a 2-6 record at the midway point of the season, the Falcons can’t do much more than play spoilers down the stretch. But with White on the field, they’ll have a better chance of doing that on Sunday.
