For the Falcons, the injury report is relatively light, as it has been for most of the season. Chuma Edoga, Feleipe Franks and Elijah Wilkinson all missed practice due to their respective injuries. According to Josh Kendall of The Athletic, Edoga is likely headed to injured reserve and Franks is already considered doubtful to play against the Cardinals. We shall see soon enough, but the Falcons are reasonably healthy.

The Cardinals had a much larger injury report on Wednesday. The good news for them is that quarterback Colt McCoy is returning from concussion protocol and is slated to start against the Falcons on Sunday, which should give their offense at least a small boost.
