Falcons-Saints Week 12 injury report: Younghoe Koo misses practice with back injury

A look at Wednesday’s practice reports.

It’s the start of hate week, as the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints begin preparation for this weekend’s rivalry matchup. Even though both teams aren’t great, this game has some important implications in terms of who will be in the lead in the NFC South divisional race.

For the Falcons, the big name missing from practice, as mentioned in the title, is kicker Younghoe Koo. Koo has made 95.5% of his kicks this season, and it would be a big blow if he was unable to play on Sunday in a game that in the past has gone down to the wire. It’s only Wednesday though, so don’t panic just yet.

The Saints had a few key players missing from practice on Wednesday. Corner Marshon Lattimore is dealing with an ankle injury which kept him sidelined. Also, offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk had a rest day as he recovers from a knee issue.

Happy Thanksgiving, from all of us at The Falcoholic!
